Click to view
Noted in Hallbäck (1959) reports a font of soapstone of the 13th century that is missing its original basin, instead using the former base, upturned and restored, as basin now mounted on a new granite base. Noted and illustrated in the SHM Medeltidens bildvärld [ref.: 930712F2] as a baptismal font of the Dalslandsgruppen made of soapstone in the 13th century; like Hallbäck above, the SHM entry notes that the base fragment from the old font is now used as the basin, resting on a new granite pedestal base. No cover present.
