Runestone with hand-carved of a Fáfni's snake (dragon), and Sigurd (Siegfried). The dragon is depicted here in the form of a snake, as is the case on a Viking runestone. The Old Futhark is carved on the snake's body. Sigurd is killing the snake (dragon). The bird behind Sigurd symbolizes his understanding of bird language. According to one version of the story, Sigurd roasts the dragon's heart while licking his finger covered with the dragon's blood. By tasting the dragon's blood, he can understand the language of birds. The book under the stone shows some motifs from a medieval wood engraving.
