Ornamentation

Who forgot?

The cross has four inner cross arms.
During the last painting, two of these were forgotten to be painted.
 

Picture from July 2015

Lying runecarving on slab are exposed to more wear than standing runestones. The color in the carving marks disappears even faster.

On a lying surface, moss and lichen take hold more easily, which often disappoints visitors.
