Noted in Hallbäck (1971). Noted and illustrated in the SHM’s database Medeltidens bildvärld [ref.: 920426F3] as baptismal font made of sandstone ca. 1200 by a local hand. The font consists of a roughly hemispherical basin decorated with a band of vegetal and geometric pattern all around, raised on a round-to-square pedestal base with a roll moulding atop; there appears to be some piping or moulding on [some of?] the sides of the base. No cover present. The font had damage to a large area of the upper rim but has been repaired.
