Noleby Runestone, Norse runestone at Swedish History Museum, Sweden

The Noleby Runestone features three lines of text framed by bands, with inscriptions carved in Elder Futhark script on its surface.

Located in 1894 at Stora Noleby farm in Västergötland, this stone dates from approximately 450 AD according to linguistic analysis.

The inscription contains the phrase 'runo raginakundo', meaning runes of divine origin, connecting it to ancient Norse mythological traditions.

Visitors can examine this archaeological artifact at the Swedish History Museum in Stockholm, where it remains under preservation conditions.

This runestone stands as the sole example in Scandinavia utilizing a specific star rune form for representing the sound /j/.
