Description This fragment bears a crescent-and-V-rod above a "pictish beast" with part of a mirror-and-comb below (you can just see two points of the comb case below the beast's foreleg. The interior decoration of the crescent includes 2 smaller crescents. Immediately to the right of the beast, on the side face, is a rayed sun symbol which is not incised as deeply as the front face symbols (see other photo).
See RCAHMS webpage for a drawing which includes the missing parts of the mirror-and-comb.
(This stone is stored in a private house; my thanks to the owners for kindly allowing me to photograph.)
