G 319

The limestone runestone G 319 measures 1.76 meters in height and 0.765 meters in width, featuring runic inscriptions on its surface.

The stone remained concealed beneath wooden flooring during the 1870s until its relocation during the church restoration project of 1951.

The runic text narrates the story of Audvaldr, whose heirs commissioned this memorial stone after his death in Finland during the medieval period.

Visitors can examine the runestone's inscriptions and limestone craftsmanship within the grounds of the medieval Rute Church in Gotland.

This runestone holds distinction as the sole inscription among Gotland's collection that specifically references Finland in its ancient text.
