Ryssby

This stone was removed from the church wall, when it was was torn down and rebuild in the 19th century. Interesting is the arrangement on the stone's surface. It starts at the right hand bottom and ends in a cross. It then continues in a band just above the middle of the left -hand part of the front side, following the stone's sides from left to right. The inscription concludes in the middle band, which forms the stem of the cross. The runes are read from top to bottom.
