Runestone Sö 84 in Tumbo, Sweden.

Sö 84 is the Rundata designation for a runic inscription on a memorial runestone located in Tumbo, Södermanland, Sweden. While the tradition of carving inscriptions into boulders began in the 4th century and lasted into the 12th century, most runestones in Scandanavia date from the late Viking Age.
