More model informationThis ornately carved stone probably formed the gable end of an enclosed shrine or sarcophagus dating from the early 800s. Its central panel is finely carved with a vine-scroll inhabited with birds, mice and other animals, a design that is frequently found in Anglo Saxon Christian art.
Jedburgh had been an important religious site for 300 years when the Augustinians arrived in 1138. No buildings survive from this earlier period, but many artefacts and archaeological finds like this one give an insight into life before the abbey.
