Sigurd on the Ramsund rock carving

Subject

Runic inscription

Description

This is Sigurd pictured slaying the dragon Fáfnir on the Ramsund carving (Sö 101), carved in the mid eleventh century. The runic inscription which the scenes from the legend accompany refers to a certain Sigriðr raising a bridge in memory of her husband, rather than referring directly to the legend of the dragon-slayer.
