The runestone on August 12, 2015
In the shadows from side lights at
night, unknown carved tracks appear.
What is it that we "almost" see?.
I see another dragon on the
right (the arrow) with its body intertwining the bodies in
the middle at the bottom of the runestone.
I was alone when this picture was taken, but if there are
two of you, it's easier when you can see shadows from
different directions.
Runecarver:
Maybe Sven?
Compare the ornamentation and
details with runestone U
45
Head without an eye and the
same type of ears as on U 45 (The ear that is on U 45 but
was forgotten in the last painting).
Even the shape of runes
(partially with half bi-staves) matches well such as A, O
and N runes with bi-stave only on one side, R and S-rune
shape.
Even the end of the dragons'
tails look the same.
History
This runestone has also been
built into the foundation wall of the church. It was found
in 1932 and taken out and erected.
The damage in the lower right
corner occurred during removal, while the missing part on
the left probably occurred during the church building when
the stone was to be fitted into the foundation.
