More model informationEarly Christian stones and slabs like this have been found on the holy isle of Iona. They were probably grave-markers, or possibly boundary-markers.
Iona was a leading artistic centre from the 8th century, and sculptors, metalworkers and manuscript illuminators flourished there.
This example resembles crosses found at an early monastry on the Isle of Bute. It most likely dates from around the 12th century.
It can now be found on display in the Iona Abbey Museum. For information on visiting, go to our website.
