Context and Discovery ⓘFound in 1872 during construction work on the property of Austers in Hangvar. The stele was covering an inhumation grave, in which the deceased had been buried together with a horse, weapons, and armour. Finds are indicating that there was a sword among the weapons but the sword itself was not preserved. HS
Measurements, Material and Condition ⓘThis relatively small limestone slab consists of several fragments. The damage must have happened during the unexpected discovery in the 19th century or while it was in use as part of a stove. In Lindqvist (1941, fig. 404), the stele’s original condition after the discovery is shown as a drawing, showing that a large part of the left side was damaged. The top, the right side and the root were preserved and, thus, allowed a reconstruction of the whole monument as it can be seen today in Gotlands Fornsal. Despite severe damage, the typical axe-shaped form was still visible. A rare find on this stone is the fact that not only the sides but, likewise, the top has a chamfered edge. The surface is, where preserved, smoothly worked and two round fossils serve as eyes of a mythical creature at the top. With dimensions of 0.93 m x 0.82 m x 0.12 m, the stele is almost square. Lindqvist measured the size of the stele including the root as 1.20 m. HS
