Runestone from Lifsinge
The rune stone from Lifsinge ( Sö 9) is a rune stone in Lifsinge, in the municipality of Gnesta in Södermanland in Sweden , which is one of the 26 so-called Ingvar stones ( Swedish Ingvarsstenar ).
The rune stone was discovered in 1857 by Freiherr von Stjernstedt on the so-called Herrmanshagen between Nibble and Lifsinge as five fragments. It was repaired by Erik Brates in 1899 and rebuilt near the site in 1934. A footpath between Nibble and Lifsinge passes near the stone, which is about 500 m southeast of stone Sö 8. The granite stone is about 2.0 m high, 1.4 m wide and 0.35 m thick.
The motif consists of two serpentine bands knotted with the ends of the tails (instead of an Irish belt ), in a bird's eye view, which enclose a Christian paw cross . The cross designed with echoes of the Ringerike style, also has runes between the cross arms.
The text reads: Bergvid and Helga erected this stone for Ulf, their son. He died with Ingvar. God help Ulv soul .
