Pictish Drinking Horseman Tattoo Design hopi or slightly off centerA Pictish horseman drinking while riding.. a carving found on the 8th c Bullion Stone from Angus, Scotland, a jolly image. This image is unique among the Pictish stones, depicting a bald, bearded man on a weary horse, carrying a shield, and drinking from a huge horn with a bird's head terminal. To give the tattoo a base I added a section of Pictish key patterning for the horse to climb up.
