Pictish stones
artefacts

Aside from the stones themselves, the Picts have left us a number of other objects, including jewellery, tools and even a few garments. Seen together with the stones, these objects broaden our picture of a society that clearly valued beauty as well as skill.
Jewellery

The Pictish jewellery that survives is strikingly beautiful and often highly wrought, featuring silver, gold, enamel and amber.
