Noted in Hallbäck (1971). Noted and illustrated in the SHM Medeltidens bildvärld [ref.: 920618F2] as a Skaragruppen baptismal font made of sandstone in the late 12th century; the SHM entry remarks that the font is very finely carved and gives the font at Häggum as cognate and probably by the same master [="ovanligt välhuggen med ytterst distinkta former - jfr Häggum, obj-nr 920618F4 - sannolikt samme funtmästare"]. The font has a large crck on the basin side, later repaired; there is also damage to the upper rim area, likely caused by an anchoring of an old cover. [NB: several photographs [cf. ImagesArea] show the font at the east end; some show it by the left [north] pillar of the chancel arch; in later photographs the font is still at the east end, but in the centre aisle; originally it must have been located at the west end of the nave].
