Label: A good example of the picture stones from the late Iron Age, the Viking Age... might be a memorial to a man, who has died a hero. Borne by the ship of death, he is going to Valhalla.. There, a woman, perhaps a Valkyrie, welcomes him, handing him a horn of mead. The scene below the si may illustrate a saga in which Gunnar is thrown into a snakepit to die.
