Click to view
There is a large roughly hemispherical basin, plain and without a supporting base in the tower space of the ruined church; it is probably not the the original font of this church but could perhaps be of the 14th-century expansion that the church underwent prior to the 1361 invasion. It is of course possible that it was brought from elsewhere, but its design is not of one of the common types on the island. It is missing its original base. [NB: we have no information on the font from the original ca. 1233 church here] [NB: an inscription in the tympanum of the portal reads: "SWE DIT BESIT HE SAL DEME GEVE C. OLVF IHACOBII GUTIENSI" [source: Leonard Bygdén's Den gåtfulla inskriften vid S:t Karins kyrkoruin i Visby, in
