Click to view
Noted and illustrated in Hallbäck (1966) as a baptismal font made ca. 1300 and inspired by the Gotland fonts of the period; it is decorated with sixteen arches imitating 'musselornamentik'. Noted and illustrated in the SHM Medeltidens bildvärld [ref.: 920610F1] as a 'musselcuppstyp' baptismal font made of sandstone in the second half of the 13th century; the SHM further notes that the fact that the font is made of sandstone [and not limestone as expected from the 'musselcuppstyp'] may mean that it was made as a copy in Västergötland [="västgötsk kopia"].
