It became a sacrificial stone with pictures
showing a successful feast with people, food,
animals, dance and music.
The pictures were carved in simple
relief, as on Gotland's picture stones.

Around the belly there is the
runic inscription in alliteration (verse), where the stone in its
own words desires attention and participation in the feast.
In exchange for the gift, it perhaps give prosperity and
peace back. |
