Scottish Cross with Spiral
A large spiral occupies the crossing of a carved stone cross, with knotted bands filling its shaft and arms. The printed caption identifies a Scottish cross with spiral and credits the reproduction as after Stuart. Mackenzie includes it within his discussion of the spiral motif. The credited source is retained without assigning an ancient sculptor’s name.
