An object identified in the source as a baptismal font appears in three undated B&W photograph in the Kulturmiljöbild, Riksantikvarieämbetet [cf. ImagesArea]. The three parts may very well not be a baptismal font at all; the 'basin' looks very much like a medieval grain measure, and the other two parts of this composite object may be totally unrelated to it. [NB: we have no further information on its present location].
