Noted as a medieval baptismal font made of wood and carved into hour-glass shape in kulturminnesok.no [https://kulturminnesok.no/minne/?queryString=https://data.kulturminne.no/askeladden/lokalitet/85431] [accessed 3 January 2017]. The font appears carved from a single block of pine, as if girdled in its middle by a broad patterned centre-ring rope moulding; the basin has several carved arrises, and the upper area has two bands of tiny incisions all around; the base is plain. There is no cover present, but the font has a metal baptismal dish on it.
