Kerstin Börjesson's Solberga kyrka – invändig renovering (Antikvarisk medverkan, 2011: 29) [http://www.regionmuseet.se/download/18.6e6896fd15f6bfe705038d6b/1510230421866/R2011_029.pdf] [accessed 26 June 2020] reports a stone font from the medieval church in the new church [="I kyrkan finns också en äldre troligtvis medeltida dopfunt"]. The old font is illustrated in a video [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8FndWIVnT0] [accessed 26 June 2020]: it appears to be made of a dark stone, perhaps soapstone?, and consists of three parts: a roughly hemispherical basin with plain sides and a roll moulding at the bottom of the underbowll a cylindrical stem, also with a moulding, and a circular lower base; no cover present.
