Böksta Runestone

The granite Böksta Runestone measures 2.6 meters in height and features intricate carvings depicting a hunting scene with figures, animals, and runic text.

Dating to approximately 1050 CE, the stone commemorates Eistr, raised by his parents Ingi and Jógerðr, along with Ernfastr and his brothers.

The stone displays a man on horseback with a spear, a figure on skis with a bow, two dogs, and two birds participating in an elk hunt.

Located four kilometers southwest of Ramstalund, the runestone remains accessible to visitors interested in examining Viking Age memorial stones.

The stone incorporates potential representations of Norse deities, including Odin with his spear Gungnir and Ullr as the skiing archer figure.
