Runinskrift Vg 152

A runestone along the road in Herrljunga

Runinskrift Vg 152 is a rune stone that stands along the road in Herrljunga municipality in Västergötland. The stone was moved in 1993 to a location approximately five meters northeast of the road. It is 2 meters wide and made of gneiss.

The inscription on the stone is transliterated as: kunuar: resþi: stin: þani: eftiʀ: kana: bunta: sin: þegn harþa kuþan.

In modern Swedish, the translation reads: Gunnvar reste denna sten efter Kane, sin make, en mycket god tägn. The stone is linguistically and ornamentally similar to the nearby Vg 151, and both stones were likely carved by the same carver.
