Country Name: Sweden

Workshop/Group/Artisan: Vitabygruppen [SHM] / Hvitaby-Maglehemsgruppen [Tynell] / Maglehem-Vitaby [Rydbeck]
Cognate Fonts: [cf. FontNotes]
Church Notes: an earlier church of ca. 1430 dedicated to St John the Baptist [Sancti Johannis Baptistae kyrka] was demolished in 1753-1780; the new church was completed in 1812
Font Notes:
Described and illustrated in Tynell (1913-1921) as a baptismal font made of a fine-grain white-grey sandstone, as identified in A. Hadding, sharing some characteristics of the Hvitaby-Maglehemsgruppen, more specifically with the font at Stenestad; the font was originally in the old church, but was moved to the new one after 1753. Noted and illustrated in Rydbek (1936) in her section on the Maglehem-Vitaby group of fonts. Noted and illustrated in the SHM Medeltidens bildvärld [ref.: 900629F3] as a 'Vitabygruppen' baptismal font made of sandstone ca. 1200; the SHM entry points out that, although the vine motif is very much like those found in the Vitaby group, the Landskrona font is of a simpler design. No cover present.
