The bracteate bears an Elder Futhark inscription which reads as: ᚺᚨᚱᛁᚢᚺᚨhariuhaᚺᚨᛁᛏᛁᚲᚨhaitika᛬:ᚠᚨᚱᚨᚢᛁᛋᚨfarauisa᛬:ᚷᛁᛒᚢgibuᚨᚢᛅᚨauja᛬:ᛏᛏᛏtttᚺᚨᚱᛁᚢᚺᚨ ᚺᚨᛁᛏᛁᚲᚨ ᛬ ᚠᚨᚱᚨᚢᛁᛋᚨ ᛬ ᚷᛁᛒᚢ ᚨᚢᛅᚨ ᛬ ᛏᛏᛏhariuha haitika : farauisa : gibu auja : tttThe final ttt is a triple-stacked Tiwaz rune.

This use of the rune is often interpreted as three invocations of the Norse pagan god Tyr.

This is the defining characteristic of C-bracteates (of which some 400 specimens survive), and is often interpreted as a depiction of the god Odin, healing his horse.

Wolfgang Krause translates the inscription as: "Hariuha I am called: the dangerous knowledgeable one: I give chance.

[3] The giving of "chance" or "luck" in the inscription is evidence of the use of bracteates as amulets.
