Summary of back, 5 panels
It was explained to me, (as I was examining the middle panel, with the "hunting scene, fighting swordsmen, and hunter with crossbow"-((I thought this was an animal harvest))-), by an "acquaintance" what His Interpretation of this stele meant.(He said: "I know what this stone says...."). The 5 panels starting at the bottom with 1, (as the two half panels in the section, and working towards the top:
 * 5&mdash;(the Elevated scene)
 * 4&mdash;mythological creatures-(Pictish Beast-name not known at the time)
 * 3&mdash;Humanity
 * 2&mdash;waters
 * 1/2+1/2&mdash;Earth-(interestingly-(divided)(not identified-(important) as divided at the time) (I assume "humanity" implies our daily lives)

Being a burial ground, (also not known when we were both looking at this wonderful stele-nor the name of the Pictish Beast), a graveyard....pretty much fits in with his description.

It seems like a metaphor for all of life on earth, though, and probably for the Picts (the Pictish folk).......(From the HotSonoran DesertArizonaUSA)..(I agree with this friend of mine, but I am sure others would love to lead us down a more 'enlightened' Path-peace out)..Mmcannis (talk) 04:39, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
