Noted and illustrated in Hallbäck (1966). Noted and illustrated in the SHM Medeltidens bildvärld [ref.: 920706F3] as a baptismal font made of sandstone in the 13th century by a regional workshop. The font consists of a roughly cylindrical basin decorated with a broad band of interlace pattern of linked two-strand circles, very eroded now, and a partial band of narrow saw-tooth or zig-zag below the upper rim; there is a moulding at the meeting of basin and base that appears to be part of the basin block; the lower base is splaying and appears plain. Some of the photographic sources have the font as made of limestone. No cover present.
