Dynna stone, Norse runestone at Historical Museum, Norway

The Dynna stone stands 3 meters tall, crafted from pinkish-red sandstone with runic inscriptions and carved images on its triangular surface.

The stone dates to 1040-1050 and contains an inscription from Gunnvor, who commissioned it to commemorate her daughter Astrid in Hadeland.

The stone combines Norse runic text with Christian imagery, including a nativity scene depicting Jesus, the Star of Bethlehem, and three wise men.

The Norwegian Museum of Cultural History in Oslo maintains the stone in its permanent medieval exhibition collection, accessible to researchers and visitors.

The inscription mentions bridge-building activities, connecting to medieval Catholic practices of constructing paths between earthly life and the afterlife.
