The image showcases three armed Picts adorned with intricate body paintings, providing a fascinating insight into their culture and traditions. The Picts' bodies are skillfully painted with celestial motifs such as stars and animals for the man, while the woman and her daughter display delicate floral designs. These vibrant patterns not only serve as decorative elements but also hold significant cultural meaning. Armed with lances featuring ball-ends in their right hands and either javelins or shields in their left, these warriors exude strength and determination.
