Historical Photograph of Krogsta Rune stone (U 1125)
Rune stones
The Krogsta rune stone dates from the 6th Century, and is famous for its depiction of a human figure as well as being the only older futhark rune stone from Uppland still in situ. According to the Samnordisk Runtextdatabas, the inscription on the front (or side A, pictured here) is indecipherable. The inscription on the rear may refer to the stone itself. It reads: <br /><br />§A <strong>mwsïeij-</strong> <br />§B <strong>sïainaz</strong> <br /><br />§A ... <br />§B<em> stainaz(?)</em> <br /><br />§A ... <br />§B stone(?)

Rune stone - modern
Postcard depicting a modern commemorative "runestone" in the Jardin des Plantes, Rouen – a gift from the Kingdom of Norway. <br /><br />"In 1911 the city of Rouen celebrated the millenium of the founding of the Duchy of Normandy and the baptism of the Viking King Rollo. The runestone in the Jardin des Plantes permanently records the dates of the millennium." <br /><br />The stone features shields with rains of arrows, an elaborate dragon-prowed Viking ship, and sword-wielding arms.
