Viking Rune Stone U937
(5" Tall by 3" Wide)
OTHER ITEMS USED FOR DISPLAY ARE NOT INCLUDED

The Funbo runestones constitute a group of four runestones originally from Funbo in the province of Uppland, Sweden, which were raised by members of the same family during the eleventh century.

U 937 was found in Uppsala in 1875 in the walls of a Franciscan monastery between the streets of St. Persgatan and Klostergatan, and is currently located at a park in Uppsala University. The fact that its inscription mentions names from the same family as the runestones of Funbo, shows that it was formerly part of the same group. Like many other runestones, it had been used as construction material at a time when the historical significance of the stones was not understood.

Þiagn ok Gunnarr ræistu stæina æftiʀ Veðr, broður sinn.
English translation:
Thane and Gunnar raised this stone after Veðr, their brother.
