Scene Description: In Herman Hofberg's Nerikes gamla minnen; ett bidrag till fäderneslandets fornkännedom, konst-och odlings-historia (Örebro: A. Bohlin, 1868): "De här afbildade dörrarna, som återfinnas N:o 1: i Edsberg, 2: i Mosås, 3: i Hidinge gamla kyrka, 4: i Almby och 5: i Knista, på alla ställen för södra ingången, förete, i afseende på siraterna, egentligen inga andra skiljaktigheter, än den större eller mindre mängden af beslag. Från trenne starka gångjern, som sträcka sig öfver dörrens hela bredd, och vanligen afsmalna till en spjutlik spets, utgå uppåt och nedåt en mängd kors och liljelika ornamenter, fastsatta med starka nitnaglar.

Illustrated in Herman Hofberg's Nerikes gamla minnen (1868). Noted in Kilström (1981). Noted and illustrated in the SHM Medeltidens bildvärld [ref.: 930803F1] as a 'mellansvensk verkstad' baptismal font made of sandstone ca. 1200. The photograph in the SHM entry [and other later sources] shows a plain, roughly cylindrical basin raised on a round base consisting of a broad ring moulding atop a round splaying lower side. No cover present. Two photographs of this font taken in 1943 by Per Olof Westlund [cf. ImagesArea], however, show the nasin mounted on a round-to-square very different from the one shown in the SHM entry; the 1943 base has a roll moulding atop but the base then becomes square in shape, somewhat like a cushion capital, with top and sides decorated in a foliage pattern.
