Kent's rune stone
Runic inscription:
The artist Kent
raised the stone,
Kalle carved
In the spring of 1996, Kent Nilsson, an artist at Adelsö
decided to acquire his own rune stone. The time passed but at
the end of the summer of the same year, the rune stone could
be raised on his plot at Adelsö.
(This happened before I moved there myself).
It was on this rune stone that my
ornamentation seems to have found its artistic shape. Body,
tail and headbands got good balance and details like head
and foot got a sense of agility that I then worked on.
Satisfied with the result, I wanted to carve more
runestones.
Today, Kent has moved from Adelsö and he
took the rune stone with him. Since 2010, they are both
located at Kungshatt, one of Lake Mälaren and Ekerö's other
islands.
