Scene Description: mural painting of a bishop and a baptismal font described and illustrated by Åsa Ringbom in Kyrkor.ax: "Biskop och dopfunt, kalkmålning. Från senmedeltiden härstammar långhusets kalkmålningar i flera ovanpå varandra liggande skikt. Bland målningarna som endast fragmentariskt bevarats, har man avbildat kyrkans dopfunt högt uppe på sydväggen. Målningen kan betraktas som ett porträtt av kyrkans pokalformade dopfunt från 1400-talet."
