Noted and illustrated in Tynell (1913). In Rydbeck (1936). Noted and illustrated in the SHM Medeltidens bildvärld [ref.: 900519F1] as a baptismal font made of sandstone in the second half of the 12th century by a regional workshop; the SHM adds that the base shares characteristics of the 'Mörarpsgruppen', but the basin is of a totally different style; it has been thoroughly cleaned [NB: Tynell had photographed it at a time when it was totally covered in a marbling paint [cf. ImagesArea]]. Åsa Jakobsson & Cissela Olsson's Björnekulla kyrkogård Dokumentation, 2011 [https://regionmuseet.se/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/R2011_048.pdf] [accessed 29 May 2021] mentions a baptismal font of the 13th century here. No cover present.
