    These look like some interesting monuments. When I die, I would like to have a pretty cool monument. It doesn't have to be large or expensive, but I would like it to be unique. It seems that most gravestones are pretty plain and simple. I would like mine to have a unique font or picture to make it different than the rest. www.syracusemonumentscny.com

    mezze: The snake could possibly have some kind of symbolic meaning (death or eternity might have been suggested), but that's nothing we know for sure. The Viking Age art is actually full of snakes as a motif not only on rune stones. /Anna B.

    ^Ha ha. That must be pretty unusual. I've never seen a man depicted like that on a rune stone.
