Noted and illustrated in the SHM’s database Medeltidens bildvärld [ref.: 920724F1] [accessed 24 April 2020] as a 'ciborietyp' baptismal font made of limestone in the mid-13th century; the SHM entry identifies the four heads as three human and one devil; the stem of the base is plain; the lower base has a moulded top with rings at the angles. Noted and illustrated in Ullén & Ljungstedt (2003) as a baptismal font made of "grågrön kolmårdsmarmor"; this source mentions that there must have been four slender colonnettes, now missing, that had the heads as capitals and fitted into the moulded rings at the angles of the lower base. No cover present.
