INFORMATION

Object Type: Baptismal Font1
Church/Chapel: Utvängstorps kyrka
Church Location: Utvängstorps kyrkby, 560 42 Sandhem, Sweden -- Tel.: +46 392 122 00
Country Name: Sweden
Location: Västergötland, Västra Götalands län
Directions to Site: Located off (E) of highways 26-47 crossroads, 8-9 km NE of Sandhem, 20 km N of Mullsjö and in its municipality, about 50 km NW of Jönköping
Ecclesiastic Region: Skara stift
Historical Region: Vartofta härad
Font Location in Church: Inside the church, in the NE corner
Century and Period: 12th century (mid?), Romanesque
Workshop/Group/Artisan: Bolumgruppen [Hallbäck]
Cognate Fonts: very similar to the font at Friggeråker
Church Notes: 12thC church; 1735 detached belfry; church re-built 1838; interior restored 1960; church renovated 1989
Font Notes:
Hallbäck (1971) as a Bolumgruppen baptismal font. Noted and illustrated in the SHM Medeltidens bildvärld [ref.: 920707F4] as a baptismal font made of sandstone in the mid-12th century a provincial work; the SHM entry notes Hallbäck's attribution to the Bolum, and remarks on the similarity between this font and the one at Friggeråker [cf. BSI entry]. The roughly square [64 x 70] basin has an irregular and unfinished base, as if it had been inserted into a wider hollow base; the spandrels on the upper surface are decorated with vegetal motifs; the panels are all carved and have a frieze of round arch-heads acroos the upper side; one of the sides appears to be a sampler of motifs and patterns (saw-tooth, arcade, reticular, chequered), another has a Gren Man's head with a branch in its mouth, another has a dragon [image is oddly missing in the SHM's entry, as it was in the entry for the Friggeråker basin] and the fourth has a palmette vine. This font is, as indicated in the SHM entry [cf. supra] very similar to the one from the medieval church [now demolished at Friggeråker [cf. SHM and BSI entries for that font].
