(Source: Martin Borg, researcher, Nordic Museum 2009-08) Waste-shaped, of Dala type. according to Västerås Stifts calendar. Runstav is a kind of eternity calendar that has been covered since the 13th century. The rod could be used any year, you only needed to know this year's Gyllental and Sunday letter. In addition to runes, there were often symbols that showed different holidays. The runes corresponded to different weekdays and by knowing this year's Sunday letter you could know which rune corresponded to what day of the week. In order to specify Easter, Pentecost, which are removable holidays depending on the lunar shift, you needed to know this year's Gyllental. This year's Gyllental corresponded in the same way as the Sunday letter a specific rune and thereby the moon shifts could be calculated. Purchased 1935.
