Title

Stone Bowl

Description

3D model of a stone bowl found in a Pictish cairn at Dalcharne, in the Strath of Kildonan, in 1853. The vessel comprises an oval bowl with one broken short lug-like, perforated handle. It is made from a soft rock, similar to soapstone, and has concentric and unusual repeated wheat sheaf decoration. The blackening at one at one end of the bowl may signify burning reside and its possible alternative use as a lamp. Dated 500BC-500AD. Physical object held at the Timespan Museum. Part of the Iron Age Kildonan reconstruction. A collaborative project between Open Virtual Worlds, a research team within the School of Computer Science, University of St Andrews and Timespan Museum. 3D digitisation was done by Catherine Cassidy and Iain Oliver with archaeological assistance provided by Jacquie Aitken. Digitisation funded by the EU Northern Periphery and Arctic Programme 2014-2020 through the “Connected Culture and Natural Heritage in a Northern Environment” (CINE) project.
