Baptismal font of the 'Paradisenfunten' type from Gotland, but noted below as being made of local Ålandic limestone. Noted and illustrated in Hiekkanen (2007) with date in the 13th century. Noted and illustrated in Åsa Ringbom's 2012 entry for this church in Kyrkor.ax [www.kyrkor.ax/kyrkor/hammarlands-kyrka/] [accessed 12 September 2017]: "En s.k. paradisfunt av åländsk ordovicisk kalksten, från senare hälften av 1200-talet." The font has now a metal reinforcement around in the scotia that circles below the upper rim.
