Tynell (1913-1921) has two entries for Österslöv [spelled Österslöf]; the first entry, "Österslöf I" describes a round granit basin missing its base, and located at the time in a garden in Karlsholm [cf. infra]. Listed in Carlsson (1970: 318), who cites Otto Rydbeck (1927: 34) as source. The Svenska kyrkan site [www.svenskakyrkan.se/nosaby/osterslovs-kyrka] [accessed 13 March 2020] site reports the old granite font as located in "Karsholms slottspark": "Interiören har också en dopfunt med praktlopp från 1600-talet medan kyrkans gamla dopfunt av granit från 1200-talet står i Karsholms slottspark." [cf, BSI entry for Osterslov No. 2 for a sandstone base also from this church now in the Lunds universitet historiska museum]
