This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - a Bull motif on a Pictish incised stone, found in Burghead, Moray, Scotland. Dating back to the 6th or 7th century, this ancient artifact is an exquisite example of the intricate carvings that adorned stones during the Pictish era. The bull motif depicted on the stone is truly striking. The attention to detail and skillful craftsmanship are evident in every curve and line etched into the surface. The artist's ability to capture the strength and power of this majestic creature is awe-inspiring. The vibrant colors preserved on this stone add another layer of beauty to its overall composition. Despite centuries passing since its creation, these hues have managed to withstand the test of time, allowing us a glimpse into Scotland's rich cultural heritage.
