Invereen Stone, Pictish stone artifact in Highland, Scotland

The Invereen Stone displays carved Pictish symbols, including a crescent, V-rod, double disc, and Z-rod across its one-meter-tall surface.

This Class I Pictish stone emerged during agricultural work in 1932 and represents the artistic practices from the 7th and 8th centuries.

The stone carries symbols that demonstrate the complex communication methods and artistic skills of the Pictish people in eastern Scotland.

The National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh maintains and displays this stone among its collection of significant Pictish artifacts.

Scientists continue research on the stone's symbols, which include a damaged third marking potentially representing a penanular broach.
