Title A name given to the resource Tjängvide (I) Picture Stone from Gotland Subject The topic of the resource Photograph - Archaeological Remains Description An account of the resource Tjängvide I (G 110) dates from c.700-800 AD and is now on display at <a href="http://historiska.se/home/" target="_blank">Statens historiska museum</a> in Stockholm. It is one of several Gotlandic picture stones with similar motifs; a ship under sail below and a scene that appears to be a welcome to Valhalla above. In the upper scene, a man rides the eight-legged horse Sleipnir. A woman appears to be offering him a horn to drink, while figures fight in the background, in front of a hall that may be Valhalla. An alternative interpretation is that it is Sigurd riding his horse Grani, itself an offspring of Sleipnir, and being greeted by Brynhildr or Grímhildr. The story of the Volsungs was very popular in Scandinavia in the Viking Age and features on other picture stones and runestones. There are two bands of runes on this stone. One on the left of the upper image is a rune row. The other, on the right side of the ship image reads: <ul> <li>B ... (r)aisti stainin aft iurulf bruþur sin ÷ sikuif(i)r(t)(u)(a)(n)k(i)sifil</li> <li>B ... raised the stone in memory of Hjôrulfr/Jórulfr, his brother ...</li> </ul> Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Berig Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Wikimedia Commons Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Wikimedia Commons Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 01/03/2008 Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Administrator Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource (c) Berig (Own work) [GFDL (http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html) or CC BY-SA 4.0-3.0-2.5-2.0-1.0 (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0-3.0-2.5-2.0-1.0)], via Wikimedia Commons Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource jpg Language A language of the resource English, Old Norse Type The nature or genre of the resource PhysicalObject Coverage The spatial or temporal topic of the resource, the spatial applicability of the resource, or the jurisdiction under which the resource is relevant 700 AD, 800 AD, Viking Age, Sweden, Gotland Drinking Horns Gotland Picture Stones Rune stones Runeinnskrifter Runeinskrifter Runes / Runer Runestein Runesten Runestones Runic Runic inscriptions Runinskrifter Seafaring Ships Sweden Valhalla Valkyries Valkyrjer Viking Age Warfare Warriors Writing
