Listed and illustrated in Danmarks Kirker [http://danmarkskirker.natmus.dk/uploads/tx_tcchurchsearch/Ribe_2705-2734.pdf] [accessed 3 December 2024] as a baptismal font of the "vestjydske type" noted in Mackeprang (1941), made of granite; the much damaged base was replaced in 1955, the old one relegated to the churchyard, near the armory entranceway; the altered font was installed in the southeast corner of the nave at the time; the font had been painted but the paint is no longer on it [NB: Mackeprang does not list this font but others of the type]. On-site notes: the basin is roughly bucket shaped and has some decoration on the sides; partly damaged? the base appears to be a mocern replacement.
