Summary
| Description |
English: Illustration of trident from page 295 from Nordbon during the pagan era. Popular representation of our ancestors' oldest culture (previous department, Stockholm, 1852) by Axel Em. Holmberg.
The accompanying text reads: "Triangle- or rather foot-angel-shaped stone placements have been wanted for sacrificial places and other holy places. However, they are all graves, such as containing pots with burnt bones. They are sometimes decorated with corner and center stones, as well as over one arm with an arch of border stones, as the nearby figure shows. What this arch is supposed to signify, we do not know; often they have their proper family pile in the middle."
Svenska: Illustration av treudd från sidan 295 ur Nordbon under hednatiden. Populär framställning af våra förfäders äldsta kultur (förra avdelningen, Stockholm, 1852) av Axel Em. Holmberg. Den tillhörande texten lyder: "Triangel- eller rättare fotangel-formiga stensättningar har man velat haft till offerställen och andra heliga platser. De äro dock alla grafvar, såsom innehållande krukor med brända ben. De äro stundom prydda med hörn- och midt-stenar, samt öfver ena armen med en en båge af randstenar, såsom närstående figur utvisar. Hvad denna båge skall beteckna, vet man icke; ofta hafva de i midten sin ordentliga ättehög." |
