Noted and illustrated in the SHM’s database Medeltidens bildvärld [ref.: 940728F2] as a baptismal font of the "nodgruppen" made of limestone in the 15th century. The font consists of a roughly hemispherical basin decorated with a vine all around; it has considerable damage to one side; the pedestal base has a large centre ring toll moulding followed down by a ball-shaped element covered in interlace pattern; the circular lower base is moulded. No font cover present. [NB: the contrast between the much-damaged basin and its decor, and the pedestal base may indicate that the latter is a later replacement of the original base, and the possibility that the basin may be older that the base].
