PAGAN SYMBOLS OF THE PICTS (PB)

A new edition of Stuart McHardy’s Pagan Symbols of the Picts. This book offers a fresh perspective on the importance of art, symbolism and the Picts in Scotland’s cultural history. By looking beyond historical written accounts to oral tradition and storytelling from a variety of sources, it challenges traditional interpretations of Pictish stone art, suggesting a direct link between Pictish symbolism and what is now referred to as Pagan belief.Illustrated with detailed line drawings to complement photographs of Pictish symbols in situ.
