The Lindholm "amulet", listed as DR 261 in Rundata, is a bone piece, carved into the shape of a rib, dated to the 2nd to 4th centuries (the late Roman Iron Age) and has a runic inscription. The Lindholm bone piece is dated between 375CE to 570CE and it is around 17 centimeters long at its longest points. It currently resides at the Lund University Historical Museum in Sweden.[1]
It was found in 1840 in Skåne, Sweden, while cutting peat from a bog.[2] This cut the bone in half and resulted in the destruction of one rune in the second line of text though most of the artifact remained intact.[2]
