Baptismal font noted in Hallbäck (1965). Noted and illustrated in the SHM Medeltidens bildvärld [ref.: 930730F2] as a baptismal font made of soapstone ca. 1200; it consists of a roughly cylindrical basin with a rounded underbowl, a braid below the upper rim its only decoration; raised on a square pedetal base and a circular lower base.
