Curators' Favourite

One of the most interesting and beautiful objects in our collections is this carving of a wolf, made by an unknown Pict in the 6th or 7th century.  Whoever created it was a superb craftsman – or woman – to make such a truly magnificent wolf in so few lines.  We chose this object because because the animal looks so alive that he could almost leap off the stone at any moment, although he was created 1500 years ago.
