Danish Runic Inscription 66, Norse runestone and mask stone at Moesgaard Museum, Denmark

The Danish Runic Inscription 66 displays both a carved facial mask and Old Norse runes inscribed on a large granite stone surface.

Discovered beneath Aarhus Mill in 1850, this runestone dates from 1000 AD and commemorates a man named Fúl who died in battle.

Four individuals jointly raised this memorial stone, reflecting the Viking Age practice of félag, a form of financial partnership.

Visitors can examine the runestone at the Moesgaard Museum, where it stands as part of the permanent collection of Viking Age artifacts.

The facial mask carved on the stone influenced the modern logo design of Moesgaard Museum, connecting past and present Danish cultural elements.
