Kalleby Runestone, Norse runestone monument in Tanum Municipality, Sweden
The Kalleby Runestone measures 2.1 meters in height and 1.6 meters in width, featuring inscriptions carved in Elder Futhark script.
Created in the 5th century, this stone contains Proto-Norse inscriptions with the text 'þrawijan haitinaz was' and functioned as part of a bridge.
The inscriptions on the stone demonstrate the early development of written communication and memorial practices in Iron Age Scandinavian societies.
The monument stands outdoors in Bohuslan region, where visitors can examine the angular shapes of the runes carved into the stone surface.
The inscription's text remains subject to multiple interpretations, potentially referring to yearning, naming conventions, or personal promises in ancient Norse society.
