  • The Adventure of the Stone of Scone - Ston the Return of Solar Pons, 1958

    The Adventure of the Stone of Scone - Ston the Return of Solar Pons, 1958

    The Adventure of the Stone of Scone - Ston The Return of Solar Pons, 1958 Date Copper/December 25, 1930 Pattrick/December, 1935 The Case Parker is awakened at Pons just before 4 AM on Christmas morning. Bancroft is on his way over to Praed Street. Once he arrives, he tells them that the Stone of Scone, the ancient Coronation Stone of the Scottish people has been stolen from Westminster Abbey. It is a symbolic item and the English government wants it back with a minimum of embarrassment. Pons quickly determines that it was taken by three men and a woman and goes to work. Quotes This bids fair to be the merriest of Christmases! Comments Pons tells his brother that Bancroft must have come “on a matter of the utmost gravity.” He adds that it is not connected with the Foreign Office because of the hour. That seems a specious deduction, at best. Foreign Office affairs would certainly be likely to require immediate attention at any moment, twenty-four hours a day. Certainly, this is a police matter: the symbol of Scottish independence has been stolen. But Bancroft makes it clear that it is the government that is most concerned. Wouldn’t the issue be a Foreign Office matter as well? The Stone of Scone’s formal name is the Stone of Destiny, though the former name is used widely outside of Scotland. The kings of Scotland were crowned upon a throne built above the Stone of Destiny, which was “about twenty-six inches long and sixteen wide, and weights considerably over four hundred pounds, almost five.” Edward I conquered Scotland and took the stone back to England.

GENDER REFLECTIONS: A RECONSIDERATION OF PICTISH MIRROR AND COMB SYMBOLS by Traci N. Billings A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Anthropology at The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee December 2016 ABSTRACT GENDER REFLECTIONS: A RECONSIDERATION OF PICTISH MIRROR AND COMB SYMBOLS by Traci N. Billings The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, 2016 Under the Supervision of Professor Bettina Arnold, PhD. The interpretation of prehistoric iconography is complicated by the tendency to project contemporary male/female gender dichotomies into the past. Pictish monumental stone sculpture in Scotland has been studied over the last 100 years. Traditionally, mirror and comb symbols found on some stones produced in Scotland between AD 400 and AD 900 have been interpreted as being associated exclusively with women and/or the female gender. This thesis re-examines this assumption in light of more recent work to offer a new interpretation of Pictish mirror and comb symbols and to suggest a larger context for their possible meaning.
