Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Puts forward the idea that Pictish stones represent memorials to individuals and that the symbols carved onto them can be interpreted as personal names. It is further argued that stones bearing female names can be identified by the presence of mirror and comb symbols. If this theory is correct, it means that 20 per cent of Pictish stones were erected for or by women -- a considerably higher proportion of identifiable females than is known for any other contemporary Celtic or Scandinavian society. | ||
