RUNESTONES
Copies of Swedish runestones made in Sweden.
Each stone is free standing and is approximately 2-3cm deep.
They are cast in a natural substance that has the feel of real stone.
| AY35 | Runestone from Östergötland.
The unique inscription on this runestone contains
several allusions to heroic poems and legends from the 10th century that have now been lost to us.
One stanza near the middle is in exactly the same metre as the poetic Edda, it reads "At the time Tjodrik the brave,
Chieftain of the warriors at sea,
ruled the shore of the sea of Reid.
Now he is on horseback armed,
on his gotic horse, with shield on his shoulder,
the most important of märingar."
