Relief stone Sö 92
The relief stone Sö 92 ( Swedish Reliefhuggna ) is a rune stone that stands on the cemetery wall just behind the south gate of the church of Husby-Rekarne in the municipality of Eskilstuna in Södermanland in Sweden . The stone is damaged and some parts are missing, one of its pieces was found in Åläng in Husby in 1936 and added to the side. The material is sandstone .
The stone, whose original location is unknown, was found in a grave in the 17th century and walled in as a window sill in one of the church windows for about 200 years before it was moved to its current location.
It has an elegant relief decoration in the rune stone style Pr3 / Pr4 and is signed by the rune master Balle , who was active in the second half of the 11th century. His area of work was in the southwest of Uppland and on the Selaön . In Mälardalen there are three sandstone relief stones. The relief rune stones in Löts kyrka U 721 and U 722 were also cut by Balle, to whom about 30 rune carvings , possibly also the Hitisstenen in Finland , can be assigned.
The inscription reads: “left the stone ... his brother. He ... east. Balls. "
Nearby are the Kolunda rune stones and the Stenkvista rune stone .
