Möjbro Runestone, Norse runestone in Uppsala Municipality, Sweden.

The Möjbro Runestone stands 2.46 meters tall, featuring intricate carvings of a rider on horseback accompanied by two dogs on its granite surface.

Created between 400 and 550 AD, this Proto-Norse inscription contains text reading 'frawaradaz anahahaislagina,' possibly commemorating a man named Frawaradaz.

The stone represents early Scandinavian writing traditions, combining runic text with artistic elements influenced by late Roman Empire Germanic designs.

Visitors can examine this ancient artifact at the Swedish History Museum in Stockholm, where it was transferred in 1948 for preservation.

The inscription runs from right to left and bottom to top, following an S-shaped pattern that differs from traditional runestone layouts.
