Description
The earliest examples of the art of carving runed in stone were discovered in the boglands of southwestern Denmark and date from the 3rd century. The Viking runic alphabet spread throughout Scandinavia and was carried, during the period of their rading and their settlement, into many areas of the Old and New World.
This cross is taken from a stone slab found at Jurby, Isle of Man, Britain. It depicts the story of Ragnarok, the apocalyptic, final battle between good and evil.
