Title A name given to the resource George Bain Drawing - Details of the Nigg Stone. Subject The topic of the resource Class II Pictish cross-slab. The stone was originally located at the gateway to the grounds of the parish church of Nigg, Easter Ross. It is one of the finest surviving Pictish carved stones, and one of the most elaborate carved stones surviving from early medieval Europe. It is now displayed, restored to its original proportions, in a room inside the parish church (open in summer; key kept locally). It bears an elaborately decorated cross in high relief on the 'front' and a figural scene on the reverse. This scene is extremely complicated and made more difficult to interpret by deliberate defacement. Among the depictions are two Pictish symbols: an eagle above a Pictish Beast, a sheep, the oldest evidence of a European triangular harp, and hunting scenes. Scholars interpret the scene as representing a story of the biblical King David. The carvings on the cross side show close similarities to the contemporary high crosses of Iona. These works may indeed have been created by the same 'school' of carvers, working for different patrons. The stone was shattered in the 18th century. The upper and lower parts were crudely joined together using metal staples (now removed), and the shattered intervening part was discarded. Part of the missing fragment was recovered in 1998 by Niall M Robertson, in the stream which runs below the mound on which the churchyard is set, having probably been thrown down the bank at the time the slab was 'repaired'. This small fragment shows most of the 'Pictish beast' symbol, and was preserved in Tain Museum, until being reattached during a restoration in 2013.

Subject The topic of the resource This is probably the work of a great master-scribe, Who obeyed the Ancient law "Thou shalt not make unto thee any Graven Image or any Likeness" Etc, EXODUS Chap 20, Verse 4. Plant forms are rare in The Book of Kells and always potted. The scribes work is probably the Final Application of the Three-Dimensional skill of Jewellers, Enamelers and Sculptors. The only thing unconnected with the man, beast or bird is the WHITE CIRCLE in the middle of the TRIANGLE made by the two forearms of the man and the top-knot of the BEAST. C1 Page of Opening Words of St John's Gospel. Sir Edward Sullivan writes in the STUDIO Publication "Book of Kells" : " It is possible that the combination of the C and 1 is intended to suggest A HARPER PLAYING A HARP. Perhaps the fingers of the player. Which seems to suggest the harp strings may have suggested the idea". The contents are A MAN with head, forelock, badlock, beard, two arms, two fingers, two legs, two feet. A BEAST with topknot, neck, foreleg and foot, two toes, hindleg, foot with two toes. A BIRD with topknot, neck, body, wing, leg, four toes, three tail feathers. REPTILE with head, snout, two top knots, body. Description An account of the resource Drawing with text explanation.
