Stentoften Runestone
Stentoften Runestone, Norse runestone in Sölvesborg Municipality, Sweden
The Stentoften Runestone displays inscriptions carved using an intermediate version between Elder Futhark and Younger Futhark runic alphabets on its stone surface.
Discovered in 1823 by O. Hammer, the stone was found lying down with inscriptions facing downward, surrounded by five large stones forming a pentagon.
The inscription contains a Proto-Norse text where the name Hariwulfa combines elements meaning warrior and wolf, reflecting naming traditions of Norse chieftains.
Located at coordinates 56.05325 latitude and 14.584568 longitude, the runestone was moved to Sölvesborg church in 1864 for preservation purposes.
The stone features specific ideographic runes representing concepts such as harvest or bountiful year, marking it as one of few intermediary runic inscriptions.
