Monymusk cross slab in vestibule of St Mary's 12C chapel, Monymusk, Aberdeenshire
Monymusk cross slab

Unusual in that its surface is inscribed like a
Class I stone, but it is sparsely decorated like
a Class II relief slab. It may have been one of
the early transitional works of art which
formed a bridge between pagan belief and
Christian religion.
