Noted in Hallbäck (1971). Noted and illustrated in the SHM Medeltidens bildvärld [ref.: 920630F4] as a baptismal font made of sandstone ca. 1200; the comment in the SHM entry, "funtens form och dekor är helt unik", describes what is a rather awkward design and crude workmanship. No cover present [NB: photographs of the interior of the new [1874] church taken soon after the 1952 renovation show the font in the northeast side, by the pulpit; the font is located now [2020] across the nave, on the southeast side].
