Illustrated in Herman Hofberg's Nerikes gamla minnen (1868). Baptismal font of stone consisting of a round basin that has a short cylindrical ypper side with a tall tapering underbowl, all plain; raised on a round conical base topped with a broad roll moulding; the font is too short to stand on its own so it is now raised on a modern quadrangular block. No cover present. The metal baptismal dish appears modern.
