The www.tottosaari.com site notes and illustrates a limestone baptismal font probably of the 14th century, originally perhaps from the church at Koroinen: "Maarian kasteallas on kotimaista kalkkikiveä ja 1300-luvulta, jolloin se on ehkä ollut ensin Koroisten kirkossa. - Kasteallas on tehty Kemiön tai Paraisten kalkkikivestä." The font consists of a roughly hemispherical basin decorated with quatrefoil motifs inscribed in rounded arches all around the sides; raised on a round tapering pedestal decorated with a roll moulding atop. One side of the basin is badly damaged, a considerable chunk of the stone missing now. [NB: only ruins remain of the medieval [mid-13th century?] church of Koroinen, destroyed ca. 1400].
