Tingstäde

Ave Maria

G NF2018
My friend Andrey discovered this runic inscription, that is carved onto the wall of Tingstäde church, when he visited Gotland in 2018. When he tried to look it up in Samnordisk Runtextdatabas, it turned out that there was not a word about it, so he sent an e-mail to the Swedish National Heritage Board. They weren't aware of that carving either, but a few months later they sent one of their runologists to take a look inside the church, and yes - it's a genuine medieval carving. Congratulations Andrey for your discovery, and thank you for the photo of it !
