Sigtuna No. 7

Two medieval baptismal fonts are located in this church, both of which are said to be earlier than the Dominican church dedicated to St. Mary, and therefore probably from elsewhere [would they be from the nearby medieval churches of Sigtuna now in ruins and with fonts not accounted for?]. One of them is located inside the church, at the east end of the nave; the other is located in the west portal. The medieval font located now in the west portal, is noted and illustrated in the SHM’s database Medeltidens bildvärld [ref.: 940707F2] as also a "mellansvensk verkstad" baptismal font made of sandstone in the early-13th century. The font consists of a plain cylindrical basin with a rounded underbowl, raised on a cylindrical pedestal base with a roll mouldings at the top and bottom. No font cover present.
