Click to view
Briefly mentioned in Blomqvist (1929) as a baptismal font made of granite [cf. infra]. Inventoried and illustrated in Borg (2002): baptismal font made of gneiss in the mid-13th century, probably from an earlier church here. Baptismal dish of the 17th century. [NB: although the old church of Bosebo was moved to the open-air museum Kulturen in Lund in 1894, the medieval font was installed in the new 19th-century church in Bosebo. No entry found in the SHM database.
***NOT CLEAR WHETHER THE OLD FONT IS NOW IN THE NEW CHURCH IN BOSEBO OR IN THE OLD CHURCH THAT WAS MOVED TO THE KULREN I LUND MUSEUM***
