Noted in Hallbäck (1971). Noted and illustrated in the SHM Medeltidens bildvärld [ref.: 920615F5] as a Skaragruppen baptismal font made of sandstone in the latter half of the 12th century; the SHM entry points out that the basin top has been cut off, and that it was considerably taller [="den har varit betydligt högre"] originally. [NB: probably done to remove unsightly damage to the upper rim?] No cover present. Barbro Thörn in Kyrkokartan.se [www.kyrkokartan.se/057539/images/57539_46074822] [accessed 11 January 2021] suggests that the two parts of the font may not have belonged together otiginally.
