Title
George Bain Drawing - Order of Key.
Subject
This drawing highlights a Key Pattern detail from Aberlemno Cross Slab.
The well preserved Pictish Cross-Slab in Aberlemno Kirkyard is sculpted with a Celtic Cross in relief and a background of intertwined beasts.
The reverse of the Cross-Slab has a panel showing a battle scene with long-haired Pictish warriors fighting Northumbrians wearing helmets with nose guards. There are warriors and horsemen bearing spears, swords and shields, and a dying Northumbrian being pecked by a raven. This is thought to portray the Battle of Dunnichen which took place only 10 km from Aberlemno.
