Listed and illustrated in Solhaug (2001) as a baptismal font made of Gotland limestone ca. 1225-1300 and imported into Norway; Solhaug (ibid.) notes that the basin area where a drain hole might go is filled with cement, tha the shaft has no drain hole at all but the lower base has a large drain hole [this apparent problem could be explained by the fact that font parts were made in huge numbers on Gotland, and the demand for font sets mat have forced the suppliers with parts that were not necessarily been intended to fit together]. 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."
