Snoldelev Stone, Norse runestone in Roskilde Municipality, Denmark
The Snoldelev Stone features inscriptions in Elder Futhark runes and three interlocking drinking horns arranged in a circular pattern on its surface.
Farmers discovered this ninth-century runestone around 1775, and the Danish Antiquities Commission acquired it in 1811 for national preservation.
The inscription identifies Gunnvaldr as a Thulr, indicating his position as a community leader associated with religious or poetic responsibilities.
Visitors can examine this 1.25-meter-tall runestone at the National Museum of Denmark in Copenhagen, where it remains on permanent display.
The stone contains early Younger Futhark runes with specific variations, including an a-rune similar to the h-rune from the long-branch variation.
