Pictish Stone fragment - Rosemarkie |
||
Description |
Yellow/grey sandstone sculpted in relief one side. 8-9th century. Tree of Life, stylised plant with 2 pairs of tightly coiled shoots (with 2 pellets between) ending in lobes growing from a central stem which ends in a triple arrangement of stylised fruits, each in cross-shaped arrangement. Plant framed on the 2 vertical sides with an edging of simple key pattern. Bottom border is gently curved to give an impression of a shallow mound, lower moulding is plain with traces above plant of what may be a similar moulding. Resembles the vine-scroll pattern, known as tree-scroll due to central stem. Vine is common in contemporary art, refers to Christ comparing himself to a vine, his disciples as fruit, each dependent on other (St John, Ch 15). Grapes also recall Sacrament of Eucharist (bread and wine deemed transformed into body and blood of Christ). Fragment grooved on side edges, cut back to receive 2 panels of box-shaped monument or other elements of composite structure. Imagery suitable for tomb-shrine or Eucharistic relevance suitable for liturgical use.. Found Rosemarkie Churchyard late19th century.
