The front of this stone depicts a decorated ring cross. However, the back is of greater interest and at first sight seems to show a pagan hunting scene In actual fact, the carving illustrates a scene from the Old Testament. At bottom left, Samson with his long hair strikes the Philistine with the jaw-bone of an ass. At the top is a mounted warrior with his hound and their prey. The tree with its exotic fruits may be the Tree of Life, but who is the ghostly person in the bottom right corner?
