Title in swedish translation: ättestupa, ättestorta or ättestapul was a horrible drop from a high cliff into a gaping depth, where people plunged down, who for some reason got tired of living; by this means they hoped to get more quickly to the gods' sweet home in glysisvall, valhall, gimle or other places, which the people's blind superstition had invented. Possibly depicts one of the family stupas at one of the diabase slopes of the västgöta mountains. Date: Tryckt 1693 enl. Erik Vennberg.
