view of font

Scene Description: a very awkward looking font, with a lower base that does not quite match the rest; is it a composite? [cf. FontNotes]

Font Notes:
Noted in Hallbäck (1971). Noted and illustrated in the SHM Medeltidens bildvärld [ref.: 920619F3] as a baptismal font made of sandstone in the 13th century by a regional workshop; the SHM entry suggests that the matching of basin and base is awkard, and that the font may be an imitation of a "västgötsk" type. It could also be added that the height of the font [103 cm] is suspicious. No cover present.
