Summary[edit]

Description
English: The Dynna Stone, a runestone from the late Viking Age originally located in Gran, Norway, as the centrepiece of the VÍKINGR exhibition in the Historical museum in Oslo.

Norwegian Cultural History Museum: the Dynna stone from Gran in Hadeland, Norway, raised during the first half of the eleventh century. The text along the narrow side on the right relates that this is a memorial that one mother set up after her daughter : “Gunnvǫr, Þryðríkr's daughter, made a bridge in memory of her daughter Ástríðr. She was the handiest maid in Hadeland”. The stone sheds light on the process of Christianisation – a message communicated by text and images. The pictures on the front side depict scenes from the birth of Christ. The top is damaged, and its surface has various small holes and marks. Someone has even carved their initials and the year 1875 inside one of the pictorial motifs on the front.

Photo taken at the VÍKINGR – Viking Age exhibition, an exhibition in the Museum of Cultural History of the University of Oslo in Oslo, Norway, showing some of the most exquisite objects the museum has from the Norwegian Viking Age. Read more about the objects in this guide (PDF).

Norsk bokmål: Dynnasteinen er en runestein som opprinnelig sto på gården Dynna helt sør i Gran kommune i Innlandet fylke. Den regnes for å være et av Norges tidligste kristne minnesmerker og Norges første billedmonument. Steinen er av ringerikssandstein. Den er cirka tre meter høy og har bibelske motiver som er datert til rundt år 1050. Motivene er utformet i ringeriksstil. På steinens forside gjengis Betlehemsstjernen, de tre vise menn, Jesusbarnet og gaveoverrekkelsen i stallen. Fra utstillinga «VÍKINGR» i Kulturhistorisk Museum i Oslo.
