The surface of the picture is divided into four fields. The three upper fields clearly belong to the same story which may be interpreted as follows. It begins in the house at the top left where two men are quarrelling. A violent battle breaks out to the right.
Eagles gorge themselves on the fallen combatants.
In the next scene the fallen hero is borne on horseback to the kingdom of the dead. All hold gold rings in their hands, symbol of the booty which they have won in the battle. A ship is depicted at the bottom of this stone, as on many others. The picture stones are evidence for seven centuries of Nordic ship construction, showing that the sail was introduced during the 6th century and the art of sailing perfected by the 8th century. Once this had happened Norsemen could sail speedily over the high seas and the Viking raids could begin.
