Sadly the two Pictish symbols (the disk-and-rectangle ("mirror case") symbol and the mirror-and-comb symbol) have worn away and are now pretty much invisible to the naked eye. To see how it looked when pristine check out the photos and drawing in the canmore database - http://www.scotlandsplaces.gov.uk/search_item/index.php?service=RCAHMS&id=18537
