Pictish Art

Pictish art refers to the distinctive creative expressions of the Picts, an ancient people who lived in what is now Scotland from around the 3rd to the 9th centuries. Characterized by intricate stone carvings, metalwork, and fertility symbols, Pictish art often features motifs such as animals, human figures, and abstract designs. These artworks, found on standing stones and in burial sites, reflect the Picts' cultural and spiritual beliefs, showcasing their unique identity. The art offers insights into their daily life and possibly their connections with other cultures in early medieval Europe.
