Historie

The Dynna Stone is a runestone from the late Viking age that was originally located in Gran, Norway.DescriptionThe Dynna Stone, listed as N 68 under Rundata, is a roughly 3-meter-tall, triangular slab of pinkish-red sandstone with runic inscriptions running down one of its edges, and with carved images on the front. The stone was erected ca. AD 1040 – 1050, and its imagery is considered among the first Christian pictorial art in Norway. The rather crude images on the front of the stone slab depict the nativity scene of Matthew 2:1–12, including the infant Jesus, the Star of Bethlehem and the three wise men on horseback. The two women mentioned in the runic inscription were likely familiar with the story of the Epiphany. It has been suggested that the use of the term "handiest" (or "most skilled") in the runic text for the dead girl was a reference to her textile or embroidery designs, and that the images on the stone may represent these designs.The Stone's inscription is in the younger futhark, although their use is inconsistent with long-branch and short-twig runes used in some places. Sometimes the carver used both the long-branch and short-twig forms of the same rune within the same word.
