Noted and illustrated in Hiekkanen (2007) as a baptismal font of Gotland limestone, probably 15th-16th century. The font consists of a plain octagonal basin with a rounded underbowl, raised on a splaying round-to-square base; the upper end of the base has a roll moulding. There is no cover present but the upper ride of the basin shows an anchoring spot for cover hardware.
