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 drawing of one of the end panels. It is almost complete and has an interlace decorated cross with two pairs of monkeys and two bosses surrounded by serpents in between the arms. A corner-post is also shown. It is decorated with fine interlace. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
