Noted and illustrated in the SHM’s database Medeltidens bildvärld [ref.: 920731F1] as a baptismal font of the mid-13th century consisting of a limestone cylindrical basin plain but for a roll mouldin at the bottom of the underbowl, raised on an octagonal pedestal base with four heads at the top, and moulded round-to-square lower base; unlike the basin, the two elements of the base are made of sandstone. No cover present. The baptismal dish was made of brass by AW Borg in Jönköping in 1932. Noted and illustrated in Ullén & Ljungstedt (2003) who identify the limestone of the basin as "ortocerkalksten".
