In Hallbäck (1963) as a baptismal font originally from Skepplanda and attributed to the Lödösemästaren. Noted and illustrated in the SHM Medeltidens bildvärld [ref.: 920703F3] as a baptismal font that was originally in Skepplanda but was donated to Lödöse St Peder in 1731; the SHM refers to Hallbäck [cf. supra] but does not corroborate the attribution; instead it is described as a font "oidentifierad - saknar paralleller", made of soapstone in the first half of the 13th century.
