Hi folks,
Getting ready for another market I have this weekend in Dumfires, I decided I needed a new banner for my stall so knocked this up this week. It's about 70X80 cm, made from 4mm veg tan cowhide. Hand carved with Pictish hunting scenes from the Elgin and Shandwick stones here in Scotland I'm hoping it will kindle peoples interest in Pictish culture as these carvings really show the sophistication of the Picts, and puts the lie that they were mindless barbarians to bed. It's my goal to recreate as many Pictish carvings as possible and bring them back to life in leather

Pretty chuffed overall. May do another 'viking' one at somepoint with norse carvings. But this will do for now. Thanks for looking
