Our own Annemarie Franz spotted an interesting parallel between this stone from Burghead, held at National Museums Scotland, and the Govan Warrior. Note the pointed beard, long hair, and most importantly, small, round shield held on shoulder straps on the left side of the body.

The silver vessel from the #GallowayHoard is now on loan from National Museums Scotland to the British Museum's #SilkRoads. Its Zoroastrian iconography, inc. fire altars, suggested Sasanian origin (Goldberg et al.), now confirmed by elemental analysis (@jk_viking et al.)! ๐ท Annemarie Franz
