Invetoried and illustrated in Borg (2002) as a baptismal font made of sandstone ca. 1250. Noted and illustrated in the SHM Medeltidens bildvärld [ref.: 910620F2] as a baptismal font made of sandstone in the 13th century. No cover present. The new plinth in sandstone was made by Erik Nilsson, Harplinge. [NB: given the height, the depth of the inner well and the lack of drain, could it be that it was originally made to be used as a holy-water stoup, and not a font?]
