Noted and illustrated in Rydbeck (1936) in her section on 'Carl stenmästare'. Noted and illustrated in the SHM Medeltidens bildvärld [ref.: 900720F2] as the basin of a baptismal font made of limestone in the 13th century; the SHM entry refers to both Tynell and Rydbeck but does not endorse the attribution in Rydbeck or the identity of the figures in Tynell.
