One of a group of Pictish stones at Aberlemno, Angus, this cross-slab features angels holding books on either side of the cross. The reverse shows two large symbols above a hunting scene. At the bottom right, the biblical King David prises open the jaws of a lion – a recurring motif on Pictish stones.
