Linkoping No. 2 / Linköping / Lyncypung

Noted and illustrated in Ullén & Ljungstedt (2003) as the basin of a medieval font made of "kristallinisk kalksten (marmor)", found in 1956 buried beneath the present church; it is now mounted on a modern replacement made of concrete and located in the northwest corner of the nave; it had been used in an upside-down position as building material in the 18th-century re-building of the medieval church; probably dismatled and buried when the church was again re-built in the 19th century. The fragment is of a roughly hemispherical basin decorated with a blind arcade of round arches, a very shallow carving resembling incised work, with a plain chamfered underbowl; the replacement base is round, with a moulding atop; the upper rim of the basin appears to have some lacking volume indicating that it was re-cut to hide the damage to it; not clear how much was cut off, perhaps just a few inches. No cover present. This same source reports a fragment of carved sandstone that may have belonged to a 'dopfuntsnod'; it was found near the south portal also in 1956.
