Font Notes:
Hallbäck (1966) reports a baptismal font made of sandstone ca. 1200, consisting of a roughly hemispherical basin, a short cylindrical stem and a circular base that looks almost like a mirror image of the basin; the font is very weathered and has a centre drain. Noted and illustrated in the SHM Medeltidens bildvärld [ref.: 920526F1] as a baptismal font made of sandstone in the 13th century, a provincial work; the SHN notes that the font is made up of two basins with short stems cemented together to form the present font [="funten består av två cuppor med korta skaft, nu placerade på varandra och sammanfogade med cement "]. Another such composite font is in the parish church at Härna, in the same municipality.
