Noted in Hallbäck (1963). Noted and illustrated in the SHM Medeltidens bildvärld [ref.: 920701F3] as a baptismal font made of sandstone in the 13th century; the SHM entry suggests this font does somewhat resemble the 'musselcuppsfunt' style of Gotland, but it is more likely the product of a 'västgötaverkstad' source. The roughly hemispherical basin is decorated with a roll moulding below the upper rim and seven large but shallo-carved pointed windows all around; the conical base has a single roll moulding below the top for decoration. No cover present. A second font, modern, made by Ivar Stäck, is reported in this church.
