A Celtic stone head was found in the garden of a house in Beech Hill Place, Coupar Angus, in 1989. The oval head is smoothly finished, with a pedestal-like neck with a flat base allowing the head to stand upright. The face has incised lentoid eyes without pupils, incised curving eyebrows, a large protruding nose starting from the lower forehead, a possible moustache, a straight expressionless incised mouth and small ears in slight relief, hollowed in the centre. The flat crown of the head bears tool-marks, and below the chin are incised two strands of a possible collar or neck fastening. Height 295mm, width 165mm, depth 170mm.
Donated to Perth Museum and Art Gallery Acc No PMAG 1992.503.
