Runestone with serpent ornamentation

Söderbymalmsstenen, a rune stone at Haninge kulturhus, contains an inscription in Runic script. It was originally at a way cross where Forna Tyresövägen met the great highway to the south. It then moved to front of a house built in the early century and remained there until the house was demolished during road network changes in the 1970s. It was then moved to a wooded area below a hill, and later to the view from the glass library when Haninge kulturhus was built.

The stone's current location is in front of Kulturnhuset. The stone's inscription translates as 'Anund. (or Øyndr(?)). undr(? raised this stone after Vikinge, his father, Stores son'. The name 'Stura' may originate from Stori, originally a nickname for a large person. The ornamentation on the stone includes an intertwined serpent that forms an eight, with the upper loop enclosing a Christian cross. The extra rune script in the lower loop contains the text 'Stores son' which translates to 'Stores son'.
