Odendisa Runestone

Sala Municipality, Sweden · built 1050

The Odendisa Runestone (Swedish: Odendisastenen), sometimes called the Hassmyra Runestone, is a Viking Age runestone erected at Hassmyra, Västmanland, Sweden. It is exceptional in that it has a metric inscription, and that it commemorates a woman. The stone was first described in the 1660s. According to tradition, a farmer discovered the runestone while he ploughed the field. A few years later it cracked in half. It was mended in 1900 and raised anew where it is now.
