Östergötland Runic Inscription 43, Ancient runic monument near Norrköping, Sweden.
The Östergötland Runic Inscription 43 features two lines of text carved on granite rock, measuring approximately 0.4 meters in length with distinct text bars.
Created around 850 CE, this inscription combines younger futhark characters with an elder futhark d-rune, demonstrating the evolution of runic writing systems in Viking Age Sweden.
The inscription includes carvings of a sword, cross, and Nordic sun symbol, reflecting the intersection of pagan and Christian elements in early medieval Scandinavian society.
Visitors can locate the monument through designated road signs, and the site remains accessible throughout the year for those interested in examining the ancient carvings.
The inscription contains the word 'sól' accompanied by a sun symbol, suggesting a possible reference to seasonal changes between winter and summer daylight in Norse culture.
