10 A DANISH RUNIC STONE FOUND IN LONDON. which, being a continuation of the curved line on the face of the stone, appears to indicate a completion of the writing in that direction. It will be perceived that the slab is broken into 4 fragments, a fifth w'as thrown into one of the concrete trenches, but its loss is unimportant, as all the lower portion of the stone is but roughly hewn in the very rudest manner, and was evidently inserted in the ground. The remainder of the slab is neatly squared. The edge of the slab displays by the method of ter- minating its tooled surface — (i. e. all of the stone which was not buried) — the angle of inclination at which this antique head-stone was pitched. This was of about .30°; the sculptured panel and front face of the stone making an obtuse angle of nearly 60 0 with the ground-surface. The faces of the sculpture have been coloured with a uniform deep tone of an almost black blue, still very per- ceptible in the original; slight traces of red are also \isible, but are possibly stains of iron oxide. The cast which accompanies this communication may be relied upon as a faithful transcript of so much of the interesting monument as it includes. The remainder will be clearly and sufficiently understood from the subjoined sketch. From The Illustrated London News vol. XXI, p. 157. “The extraordinary figure of the animal filling the panel will be understood by the drawing. I would call attention particul- arly to the horned head and spurred claws, the combination of which seems eminently fantastic. A smaller head on the model of the principal one will be observed towards the upper right hand of the panel. The meaning of the scrolls and details surrounding the main figure I am quite at a loss to conjecture. The whole composition looks very mytho- logic, or possibly heraldic.” James T. Knowles, jun.
