Click to view
Listed and illustrated in Solhaug (2001) as tha surviving base of a Gotland font made ca, 1200-1250 of limestone and imported into Norway; Solhaugh (ibid.) further suggests similarities with the base at Fole (Gotland) and the work of the Calcarius workshop. The old base has been fitted with a later wooden basin, 17th- or 18th-century, painted in the 18th century. . Mentioned in Gravgaver [https://www.gravgaver.no/gotland-dopefonter.htm] [accessed 2 October 2022] as one of twelve medieval fonts imported from Gotland into Norway: "Borre (av kummen er kun fragmenter bevart), Eidanger (kun fot), Fon (nederste del av kummen), Hidra (skaft og fot), Holmedal (skaft og fot), Hvaler, Nøtterøy (kun underdel), Ramnes (skaft og fot, fire hoder skyter ut fra vulsten), Sannidal, Sæbø, Tanum, Våle."
