THE RUNIC TOMB-STONES AT JEJLLINGE IN JUTLAND. 37 THE TOMB-STONE OF GORM THE OLD AT JELLINGE. King Gobm’s lomb-slone is also made of granite: its basis forms a triangle; and the breadth of the one side, containing the chief part of the inscription, has at its base a breadth of 8 feet 10 inches; the other, exhibiting a fan- tastic figure of an animal, is 5 f. 2 inch, broad; and the third containing an image of Christ 5| f., the entire stone accordingly has a periphery of 19 feet at the bottom. The stone, the height of which above the ground is 8 f. 2 i. tapers towards the top after the manner of a pyramid. On the first side we find the greatest part of the In- scription in four lines, which are separated from each other by double horizontal strokes, and at the ends of the lines these are transformed into flourishes, which are continued even above the inscription. The draft exhibited here in the text shews this side of the stone, together with the chief part of the inscription which is continued and completed on the other two sides. On the second side, whereof a draft is exhibited here lab. II, we see a fantastical quadruped, which has some resemblance to that which is represented on the London monument, although the claws of the latter, in other re- spects similar, are somewhat better executed. It has like the London animal a protruding sideward bent tongue with antlers raised on high. The tail is at the end divided into four branches: about the neck and body and tail of the beast there is twisted a complete figure of a serpent with head and tail. The second side is separated from the third by a kind of a double Gothic column, which is formed of two twist- ings. These further develop themselves in continuous wind- ings and twistings, which serve as a frame for the sculp- ture exhibited on the two sides. Below this frame the
