A wonderful, ancient document of contemporary history, which proves that runes actually not only had a cultic character, but were also used as normal characters. The original is in the Haithabu Museum, but the copy does not take away any of the impression it makes.

Large Sigtrygg stone (of 2 rune stones), height 2.10 m.
The stone, discovered in 1797, was located at the ford between the Haddebyer and Selker Noor. Its inscription is carved in Swedish runes. A stone was used that probably bore Bronze Age symbols. The text reads: "Asfrid made this monument (in memory of) Sigtrygg, her and Knuba's son." (from: wikipedia.org-wiki-Runestones of Haithabu-Large Sigtrygg stone).
Replica, original in the Haithabu Museum.
