The runestone, known as Anundshögsstenen or Runinskrift Vs 13, is part of the fornlämningsområdet Anundshög in Badelunda socken, Västmanland. It is made of granite and tapers upwards to approximately 0.8 meters thick. The run-height is 8-14 cm.
The ornamentation is of an unusual design and resembles a number of people standing on top of each other. The artistically executed carving is signed by the run-master Vred.
The inscription claims that the stone is part of a monument. Vs 13 stands in the middle of a row of fourteen bautastensar, placed next to the northern edge of an old road. Together with the runestone and the row of boulders, these form a road monument.
