A. Sutherland  – AncientPages.com – The Ledberg Stone (Ledbergsstenen) is considered one of Sweden’s most beautiful Runestones. This landmark is also one of the country’s more familiar runestones due to its beautiful and imaginative adornment. Some parts of its motif are taken from the famous religious myth of Ragnarök,  the final battle in Norse mythology, in which several gods meet their death.
