Noted in Tynell (1913). Noted and illustrated in the SHM Medeltidens bildvärld [ref.: 900514F4] as a baptismal font made of granit ca. 1200, a Danish work. The font consists of a round tub-shaped basin raised on a cushion-capital base with a tripple moulding atop; the basin has a two-strand braid pattern all around below the upper rim; the cushion-capital base has round arche-heads on the sides, thre of which house: a quadruped passant with floriated tail and tongue, but the head is canine and it wears a dog-collar; a quadruped passant-regardant is contained in another arch-head, identified as probably a lion in the SHM, where the next item contained in an arch-head is a Tree of Life. No cover present.
