Context and Discovery ⓘ
Fredrik Nordin (1903, 146) writes that he found this stone in 1870 in the choir of Martebo Church as part of the floor, visible with the decorated side. In 1902, it was removed from there and brought to SHM. HS

Measurements, Material and Condition ⓘ
Only the middle part of this limestone slab is preserved. Top and bottom are cut off straight so that the stone is now almost square. A small part on the lower edge is broken off, minor damages on the left edge and the surface at the upper left corner is damaged. The limestone seems harder than others and has more of a grey color rather than light or yellow. The surface is very smooth, which is most likely a consequence of it being walked on when it was part of the church floor. But the surface seems very evenly worked, regardless. The sides have a very narrow and shallow chamfer. The reprocessed fragment very likely belonged to the lower part known as GP 428 Stenkyrka kyrka 46 once (Strehlau et al. forthcoming). The matching width and decoration suggest that. The original height of the entire monument is reconstructed to 2.95 m, based on comparisons to other large stone monuments. HS
