How do you commemorate a great victory or milestone? If you lived in 11th century Norway, the answer might be a runestone. Norwegians and Vikings raised these stones as a way to honor significant people, events, and victories in battle. Although there were many variations of the runic alphabet, it is called the "Futhark" because the first six letters are: f, u, th, a, r, and k.
This particular runestone is a replica of the Kulistenen, or "Kuli Stone," which was originally erected on the island of Kuloy in the early 11th century
