The pattern carved into this Isle of Skye marble comes from a Pictish symbol stone dated to around 700AD, found in Dunnichen, Angus, Scotland.
The symbol itself is part of a double-disc at the centre of the symbol stone - a frequently found motif in Pictish artwork, spanning both the pagan and early christian periods of Pictish history.
The exact significance of this symbol is unknown but scholars often interpret it as a depiction of the sun or other celestial bodies.
This necklace is complete with handmade, waxed hemp rope cordage and an English oak toggle.
