The winged Lion representing St Mark
Eagle relief detail representing St John... I swear it's a parrot 😉
Winged ox representing St Luke

The pectoral cross from the #Viking #Galloway #Hoard found in 2014 and dated to AD900. This Christian cross is possibly #Pictish. It is silver with inlaid gold in the #Cornish Trewhiddle style. The animals represent 3 of the 4 Evangelists.
