Rö runestone, Norse runestone at Swedish History Museum, Sweden.
The Rö runestone stands 2 meters tall and 1.2 meters wide, featuring four parallel rows of runic inscriptions on its granite surface.
Discovered in 1919 at Rö farm on Otterö island, this 5th-century monument contains inscriptions in Proto-Norse using the elder futhark alphabet system.
The stone's inscription mentions Stainawarijaz, meaning Stone Guard, and includes text about a Suebian warrior who created lasting marks in Norse society.
Visitors can examine this ancient Nordic artifact at the Swedish History Museum in Stockholm, where it resides among other Viking Age collections.
The inscription contains the word fahido, which translates to painted rather than carved, suggesting different creation techniques than previously understood.
