Located in the Museum of London's Medieval gallery, this runestone (a grave marker) is relatively small...and the image on the largest flat side is of a lion and snake. On the narrow edge of the stone are runes which read in Old Norse:
"Ginna and Toki had this stone laid."
In addition to the stone is a grave cover.
The placard also informs us that "Both stones are decorated in the 'Rigerike' style popular in Scandanavia and late Anglo-Saxon England. The grave-marker (found in 1852 on the south side of St. Paul's Cathedral) shows a stylized lion fighting a serpent, and was originally painted.
This website (
