Noted in Blomqvist (1929) in his chapter on the 'Huvudmästarnas efterföljare', part of the 'Lommarydsfunten' group, with Lommaryd, Hogstad and Ekeby. Inventoried and illustrated in Borg (2002) as a baptismal font made of sandstone in the 13th century, part of the Lommarysgruppen of fonts. Robin Gullbrandsson's Hakarps Kyrka: Sanering och renovering av korgolv, JÖNKÖPINGS LÄNS MUSEUM Byggnadsvårdsrapport 2012:18 [https://byggnadsvardjonkoping.files.wordpress.com/2013/01/rapport-2012-18-hakarps-kyrka-golv-lc3a5gupplc3b6st-webb.pdf] [accessed 30 March 2022] reports the medieval font, which may have originated in Hakarp's earlier church or in the abandoned Sanda church nearby, in the museum at the time [="I länsmuseets samlingar finns en romansk sandstensdopfunt från tiden kring 1200 och i kyrkan ett triumfkrucifix från ungefär samma tid Det är dock osäkert om de ursprungligen kommer från Hakarps kyrka eller den föga kända Sanda kyrka som lades ned efter reformationen och vars inventarier delades upp mellan grannkyrkorna"]. This font is noted and illustrated in the SHM Medeltidens bildvärld [ref.: 940720F1] as being of unknown origin ["okänd ort"], but possibly from Hakarp, and located in the Jönköpings läns museum (inv.nr. 9764); made of sandstone in the late-12th century. [cf. BSI entry for Jönköping No. 1] The medieval font is described and illustrated in Jenny Karlsson's blog [http://jennysutflykter.blogspot.com/2016/05/hakarps-kyrka.html] [accessed 30 March 2022] as being back in the church [cf. infra] and notable because the bishop carved ion its side is bareheaded [="I kyrkan kan fortfarande se den medeltida dopfunten i sandsten, som blev ersatt av dopängeln 1759. Dopfunten har en biskop med kräkla avbildad. Men, det som gör den speciell är att biskopen är barhuvad"]. [NB: the medieval font was in the Länsmuseet, in Jönköping for a time, as the 2012 museum notes, but Karlsson [cf. supra] phtographed it in the church in 2015. The medieval basin is shown raised on a tree stump at the west end of the nave in Tommy Hvitfeldt in Svenska kyrkan in 2017 [https://www.svenskakyrkan.se/huskvarna/hakarps-kyrka] [accessed 30 March 2022]; it appears to have been returned to the church].
