Below is a photo of a Pictish carving which is in the grounds of Elgin Cathedral, it’s in not bad condition considering it’s 1100 years old.
Back above and front below.
The statues below were never correct dimension wise as the heads are too big.
The carving below is of far better quality, this is one of the carvings which is on display inside the cathedral towers.
The others below are also inside the towers, out of the weather.
The carved head below didn’t come out as well as I had hoped, it’s behind glass and is blurred, in reality it looks much better and it’s rare because it depicts the head of a lovely woman. Before this women were always seen as being evil harridans, because the Catholic church was run by men who thought that way, but that changed when ideas of chivalry and knighthood became fashionable in the 1300s.
