Scope and Content Sarcophagus at St Andrews Cathedral, St Andrews, Fife This sarcophagus is in the museum at St Andrews Cathedral. It is the finest example of Pictish sculpture in Scotland. It consisted of four panels that slotted into corner-posts. It was possibly used as a shrine or reliquary. This is a view of one of the end panels. It shows one of the two bosses from between the arms of the cross. The boss is decorated with interlace and is surrounded by two serpents. The central boss of the cross can also be seen.
