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 a tree and a number of animals including lions and monkeys. The tree may represent the Tree of Life, in which a number of animals are caught. These animals may represent all created life. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
