Noted in Reutersvärd (1967). Noted and illustrated in the SHM’s database Medeltidens bildvärld [ref.: 920709F2] as the basin of a "musselcuppstyp" baptismal font made of limestone in the 14th century. Noted and illustrated in Ullén & Ljungstedt (2003) as the basin of a font made of "kristallinisk gotländsk kalksten"; the measurements provided in this source suggest a size rather larger that the normal for this type of font. There is also a modern baptismal font in this church; it was made in 1951 by Erik Abrahamsson, of Göteborg.
