Description

A replica of a Pictish Symbol stone originally discovered on the Brough of Birsay, Orkney in 1935. The original stone dates from the seventh or eighth century. It was found incomplete and broken into sixteen fragments. The stone was originally a monument which lay within a Pictish settlement on the Brough of Birsay, a tidal island in the north west of the Orkney Islands. The stone was potentially broken in the 9th century when the Pictish inhabitants of the Brough were replaced by Norse invaders. The replica stone now stands amongst the ruins of the Norse settlment.
The original stone fragments found in 1935 and now in the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh. Model created via photogrammetry using Reality Capture with photo set captured with an iPhone 8. Source: Objaverse 1.0 / Sketchfab
