The carvings of the stone are probably directly related to Vs 1 and thereby in the runestone style Pr 1 (c. 1010-1040) pertaining to the Ringerike style.

The inscription is not signed.

The granite stone is c. 1,15 m tall, 0,95 m wide and 1,15 m thick.

Notes

The tip of the bottom arm of the cross with the interlace part has been reconstructed here, based on the shape of the other three arms.

Vs 2 was most likely part of a monument together with Vs 1.
