Uppland Runic Inscription 1034

Uppland Runic Inscription 1034 or U 1034 is the Rundata catalog number for a runic inscription on a runestone located at the Tensta Church, which is three kilometers northwest of Vattholma, Uppsala County, Sweden, and in the historic province of Uppland, that was carved in the late 11th or early 12th century.

The runic inscription states that it was Øpiʀ risti ("Öpir carved"),[1] indicating that it was carved by the runemaster Öpir, who was active in the late 11th or early 12th century.

This runestone style is characterized by slim and stylized animals that are interwoven into tight patterns.

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

The runestone shows a cross with the inscription within a serpent around the edge.
