Listed in Mackeprang (1941) as a baptismal font of the " Østjydske løvefonte, II. Randerstypen". The font consists of a roughly hemispherical basin, slightly wider at the sides than at the top, on a round-to-square pedestal base that is of a different granite, and perhaps a later replacement; the basin is decorated with a pair of bi-corporate lions, the heads of the bi-corporate lions appear to be animal, not human; there is an irregulat round moulding below the lions; the base is decorated with stops at the angles.
