The Stenbro picture stone was found in 1998 in Stenbro near Silte on Gotland in Sweden.
The badly weathered picture stone was accidentally found next to road 140 northwest of Silte in 1998 when cables were being laid. The stone, erected around 700 AD, is about 3.5 meters high, 1.66 meters wide at the base and is in the Historical Museum in Stockholm. A copy stands in a local garden (♁⊙).
The Valkyries, known from other picture stones, can be seen, who receive the dead warriors with methorns in Valhalla. Below is a sailing ship from this period.
