Pictish Man Pin Badge

Made from whisky barrels, this pin badge is inspired by the Pictish carving Bullion Stone in our collection. The Bullion Stone shows a horseman with a round shield slung across his shoulders. The man drinks from a horn while his horse plods uphill. The bird's head on the drinking horn is twisted to look down on the rider. These symbols provide the best clue we have into the life and times of this ancient Scottish people.
