Tjängvide image stone

The stone was discovered in 1844 on the farm of Tjängvide, and is located in the Swedish Museum of National Antiquities in Stockholm.

[1] The stone is decorated with several figures in an upper and a lower field, which are separated by a braided pattern that resembles valknuts.

[citation needed] In the upper field, there is a large eight-footed horse and a small rider who is offered a drinking horn by a woman, and there are also some other figures, such as a quadruped animal and some less discernible images.

It is also possible that the eight legs symbolize the high speed of the horse and that the rider is a living man who is welcomed by his wife.

[1] The lower field of the stone is almost completely filled with the image of a longship with tall aft and stern.
