Hagby Runestones

This runestone is raised by a lady named Holmfríðr who had lost both her husband Björn and their son Sighvatr.

The animals heads are typically seen in profile with slender almond-shaped eyes and upwardly curled appendages on the noses and the necks.

It has been suggested that the words after east may be either "in Greece" or "in Garðar (Kiev)," but a fracture in the runestone prevents any actual reading of these runes.
