The Kårstad stone is a rock with petroglyphs and Elder Futhark runes. The runic inscription date from 200-500 AD, while the petroglyph ships are older. I visited Bergen museum in 2007, and this is what the rock looked like then. It was protected by a chipboard, 'cause somebody had covered a part of it with graffiti. In 2016 I came back, and I expected it to have been restored to former glory, and perhaps sheltered behind glass. That was not the case. The cover was a bit more torn and painted white - that's all. However I could see a part of one of the petroglyph ships, and also the first two runes. That's better than nothing. |

Two photos from above also, taken with the cellphone camera. The right part of the rock was impossible to get a decent photo of. Too narrow.... Here a link which show you all of the stone. |
