Uppland Runic Inscription 871, Norse runestone at Open-air museum Skansen, Stockholm, Sweden
The U 871 runestone features intricate carvings with runes and decorative patterns in the Urnes style, displaying slim animal forms and text.
Originally located near Eriksgata road in Ölsta village, the runestone was purchased by Artur Hazelius in 1896 for 50 Swedish kronor for Skansen museum.
The stone inscription commemorates Bjorn, Audulf, Gunnar, and Holmdis who created the memorial for Ulfr, indicating Norse memorial traditions.
Located within Skansen museum grounds, this runestone received protective coloring treatment in 1991 to prevent damage from natural elements.
Master craftsman Åsmund Kåresson signed this work with his characteristic phrase 'en Asmundr hio,' marking it as one of his many creations.
