Runestone from Lövhulta
The runestone from Lövhulta (Sö 90) was found in Lövhulta in Södermanland in the Swedish municipality of Eskilstuna in 1888 . The rune stone was on the rune side and was split into six parts. In 1961 it was reassembled and set up near the site at its present location on the road from Eskilstuna to Sundybholm .
The tracing of the carving reveals two serpentine bands on the side of the stone and an Irish belt or a troll mask or something similar ( Swedish skräckmask ) in the upper part . The scratching is done in the bird's- eye style ( Swedish Fågelperspektiven ; in which the snake is shown from above). The masks are a common motif, found or found on rune stones: DR 62 in Sjelle, DR 66 in Århus, DR 81 in Skjern, DR 258 in Bösarp, DR 286 from Hunnestad, DR 314 in Lund , DR 335 in Västra Strö , Vg 106 in Lassegården, Sö 86 in Aby, Sö 112 in Kolunda, Sö 167 in Landshammar, Sö 367 in Släbro. Nä 34 in Nasta, U 508 in Gillberga, U 670 in Rölunda, U 678 in Skokloster, U 824 in Holms, U 1034 in Tensta, U 1150 in Björklinge and on the Bildstein in Sjellebro .
The text reads: "Andvätt built this stone after Est (?), His father, a capable man."
