Click to view
Noted in Blomqvist (1929) in his chapter on Bestiarius as a baptismal font made in the 12th century. Inventoried in Borg (2002) as a baptismal font made of limestone ca. 1150, a font in the 'Bestiariusgruppen variant 3'. Noted and illustrated in the SHM Medeltidens bildvärld [ref.: 910723F1] as a baptismal font of sandstone made in the late-12th probably by Bestiarius. The outer surfaces of the font are very eroded all over; some of the animal figures on the basin sides are hardly discernible; the lower base is rather odd, uncharacteristic, with a twisted thin moulding at the top, and two(?) small protruding heads [animal?] on a broad roll moulding.
