Baptismal font of limestone in the characteristic style of the late-Romanesque / early-Gothic Gotland productions: a roughly-hemispherical basin decorated with a shallow arcade of round arches raised on a round splaying pedestal base. No cover present. Listed in Mackeprang (1941, 2003) as a "Gotlandske Eksportfonte". Listed in Danmarks Kirker [https://nmdanmarkskirkerprod.blob.core.windows.net/files/Bornholm_532-555.pdf] [accessed 1 April 2026] which makes reference also to a font cover purchased in 1879 "Døbefonten er et senromansk gotlandsk eksportarbejde af kalksten, tilhørende den rundbuede bægerbladstype, sml. Bodils kirke s. 526. Tvm. 93 cm. Fonten er nu sænket et stykke ned i gulvet. (Mackeprang: Døbefonte, s. 412). 1871 blev fonten anbragt på en forhøjning og omgivet af et rækværk. Et fontelåg anskaffedes 1879 (rgsk.)"
