Scope and Content Sarcophagus at St Andrews Cathedral, St Andrews, Fife This sarcophagus is in the museum at St Andrews Cathedral. It is the finest example of Pictish sculpture in Scotland. It consisted of four panels that slotted into corner-posts. It was possibly used as a shrine or reliquary. This is a view of the front panel showing David riding a horse. On his wrist is a falcon. In his right hand he holds a sword, ready to strike at the lion which has jumped out of the tree in front. This may represent the Tree of Life. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
