A baptismal font of the 12th century, the basin originally from Belgium, is reported in this modern church in the Riksantikvarieämbetet [https://bebyggelseregistret.raa.se/bbr2/byggnad/visaHistorik.raa;jsessionid=25FD007D1B0591028FD1ECD15CED424F?byggnadId=21400000582010&page=historik&visaHistorik=true] [accessed 24 June 2021]: "Dopfunten, från 1100-talet är av sandsten. Cuppan kommer från Belgien, foten är nytillverkad. Cuppan är fyrkantig och dekorerad med en relief av en rundbågsfris med kopplade spiralvridna pilastrar. Mellan valvbågarna finns stiliserade liljor. Foten är en hög cylinder med bredare bas." Noted and illustrated in Kyrkosafari [https://kyrkosafari.wordpress.com/2015/08/15/den-gode-herdens-kyrka-helsingborg/] [accessed 24 June 2021]: "Dopfunten har sitt ursprung i Belgien och är tillverkad under 1100-talet. " Noted and illustrated in the SHM Medeltidens bildvärld [ref.: 951014F4] as the basin of a baptismal font made of sandstone in Belgium in the 12th century. [NB: although the type of font design would fit well with the Romanesque fonts of Belgium and northern France there is something odd about the finishing of the blank surfaces om this font, which are left rough, an uncommon occurrence -- BSI has not yet been able to trace the donor of the font or its provenance].
