Emil Hildebrand's Antiqvarisk tidskrift för Sverige, Volumes 3-4 (1870-1880), 3rd part, 150/38 reports a "Dopfunt med blad ornamenter" in Häggum. In Hallbäck (1971). Noted and illustrated in the SHM’s database Medeltidens bildvärld [ref.: 920618F4] 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 Våmb as cognate and probably by the same master [="ovanligt välhuggen med ytterst distinkta former - jfr Våmb, obj-nr 920618F2 - sannolikt samme funtmästare"]. Reciprocally the entry for the font at Våmb in Medeltidens bildvärld [ref.: 920618F2] 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"]. As with the font at Våmb the carver has included a human head in the acanthus vine here, but is a tiny one and inverted, semi-hidden in one of the spandrels of the vine; the style of the palmettes here is quite different from thos at the sister font.
