Medieval font of limestone reported in Museovirasto [www.rky.fi/read/asp/r_kohde_det.aspx?KOHDE_ID=1798] [accessed 16 August 2017]. The font is illustrated in a Flickr [non-downloadable] image [www.flickr.com/photos/eirich/5408249228/in/album-72157625954732828/] [accessed 16 August 2017]: only the hemispheric basin has survived, now mouted on a modern cyclindrical pedestal base; the sides of the basin are decorated with very shallow carvings, an arcade of blank trefoiled arches with vegetal motifs in the spandrels, and a castellated pattern on the underbowl; the basin is cracked and damaged at the upper rim. There is no cover present.
