Font Notes:
The entry for Landeryds Kyrka in the Östergötland Länsmuseum [http://www.landerydhbf.se/nya/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Landerydskyrka.pdf] [accessed 13 April 2020] reports three fonts in this church: the oldest one [cf. BSI entry for Landeryd No. 1] is the base of a Romanesque font; it is decorated with a ram head and three human heads said to have been made by a Gotland atelier working on the cathedral at Linköping; this fragment is documented as having served, together with the basin of the later font as the supporting base for the pulpit ca. 1900; the font parts were removed in 1953 when the pulpit was given a new base. The font in use is noted and illustrated in the SHM’s database Medeltidens bildvärld [ref.: 940720F2] as a 'musselcuppstyp' baptismal font made of limestone in the 14th century. This same font is noted and illustrated in Ullén & Ljungstedt (2003) as being made of Gotland limestone and note also its service for a time as support to the pulpit [cf. supra]. A still later font of hammered copper was made by Grönstrand of Linköping in 1695.
