Tjängvide image stone, Picture stone at Swedish History Museum, Sweden

The Tjängvide stone measures 1.7 meters tall and features detailed carvings divided into upper and lower fields separated by braided patterns.

Discovered in 1844 on the Tjängvide farm, this limestone artifact dates back to the Viking Age between 700 and 900 CE.

The stone depicts Norse mythology scenes, including what appears to be Odin riding Sleipnir and warriors being transported to Valhalla by Valkyries.

Visitors can examine this significant archaeological piece in the Swedish History Museum, where it stands among other Viking Age artifacts.

The lower section displays a longship filled with warriors, while the upper part contains an eight-legged horse receiving a drinking horn.
