EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact known as the Pictish Silver Handpin from the Norries Law Hoard. Discovered in a burial mound, this handpin is believed to date back to the 6th century and offers us a glimpse into the rich history of the Pictish people. Although it was said that numerous silver objects were found within this hoard, sadly most of them were melted down by a local jeweler. The intricate design and exquisite craftsmanship of this handpin are truly awe-inspiring. Its delicate details and vibrant color make it an exceptional piece of jewelry from ancient times. The pin itself represents more than just an accessory; it symbolizes concepts such as wealth, status, and perhaps even protection in death. Preserved for generations, this jewel serves as a tangible link to our ancestors' customs and beliefs. It reminds us of their reverence for beauty and their desire to honor their departed loved ones with precious offerings. Thanks to photographers CM Dixon and Mike Dixon's expertise, we can now appreciate every nuance of this extraordinary artifact through this high-quality print. Let its presence transport you back in time as you contemplate the ingenuity behind its creation and ponder upon the stories it holds within its silver frame.
