Berezan' Runestone, Runestone at Odesa University, Ukraine.

The Berezan Runestone measures 48 centimeters in width, 47 centimeters in height, and 12 centimeters in thickness, featuring clear runic inscriptions.

Professor Ernst von Stern discovered this ancient stone artifact during excavations of a burial mound on Berezan Island in 1905.

The inscription indicates connections between Scandinavian merchants and the Kievan Rus region, demonstrating early medieval trade relationships.

Researchers and students can examine this historical artifact at the museum of Odesa University, where it remains under preservation.

The stone contains text stating 'Grani made this vault in memory of Karl, his partner,' using block lettering typical of ancient Scandinavian writing.
