Strängnäs stone, Runic inscription at Klostergatan 4, Strängnäs, Sweden
The Strängnäs stone measures 21 centimeters in length, 13 centimeters in width, and 7.5 centimeters in thickness, crafted from Jotnian sandstone.
During the demolition of a stove in 1962, workers discovered this Proto-Norse inscription, which features text using the Elder Futhark alphabet system.
The stone contains two significant words: Erilaʀ, possibly connected to the Heruls tribe, and Wodinʀ, referencing the Germanic deity Odin.
The inscription resides at Strängnäs Cathedral, where visitors can examine this archaeological artifact alongside other regional runestones.
Geological and technical analyses confirmed the authenticity of this Proto-Norse inscription, despite initial debates among scholars regarding its origins.
