About Vadstena
The Vadstena bracteate is a gold C-bracteate found in the ground at Vadstena, Sweden, in 1774. Along with the bracteate was a gold ring and a piece of gold sheet: all were nearly melted down by a goldsmith who was stopped by a local clergyman. The bracteate was stolen in 1938 from the Swedish Museum of National Antiquities and has not yet been found. It is notable for its inscription, which includes a full list of elder futhark runes.
