Södermanland Runic Inscription 86
Södermanland Runic Inscription 86, Norse runestone in Västermo socken, Sweden.
The granite monument features a facial mask and Thor's hammer Mjöllnir supported by two serpents, with runic text inscribed in younger futhark script.
The inscription commemorates Herbjörn through text carved by his sons Ásmundr and Freybjörn during the Viking Age, marking a family burial location.
The stone combines Norse religious elements through Thor's hammer and facial mask imagery, reflecting the intersection between pagan traditions and emerging Christianity.
Located one kilometer north of Ålberga in Södermanland County, the stone stands 1.8 meters tall and remains protected under Swedish heritage laws.
The inscription includes names incorporating references to Norse deities, with Freybjörn meaning Freyr Bear and Ásmundr translating to Divine Hand.
