Runic plate from Veda
The rune plate from Veda (also rune plate from Veda gård ) called scratching ( Swedish Vedahallen ; No. U 209 ) is located on an outcrop 125 m from the eponymous farm in the forest near Angarn in Uppland in Sweden and was made by the rune scratcher (Swedish runristare ) Torsten - who also created U 360 - signed.
The runhalls ( rune slab ) are located in a 1.8 × 0.9 m area, on a granite slab that slopes sharply to the south . The rune height is 5 to 9 cm. The front shows a soft, wavy snake ornament in the urn style with double loops and narrow offshoots of intersecting motifs. A Christian cross and an Irish belt are missing.
The inscription reads: Thorsteinn made (the stone) in memory of Erinmundr, his son, and bought this farm and got (to wealth) in the east in Garðar (Russia). It is the document of a Viking who traveled east where he found wealth in Gardarike . The plate is not one of the Baltic Sea rune stones , since the place of death of Erinmundr is not mentioned.
Nearby is the rune carving U 210, carved by Öpir .
