Heritage is described by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) as “our legacy from the past, what we live with today and what we pass on to future generations”. Ireland is a country rich in heritage and culture and has long recognised the importance of preserving this for future generations. Our Irish culture and heritage has created the spirit and identity of our people throughout the world and makes us what we are today with our distinctive characteristics. WORLD HERITAGE AND IRELAND Ireland signed the UNESCO World Heritage Convention in 1991. This brings with it both opportunities and obligations; Ireland as the “State Party” commits to nominating examples of exceptional heritage sites to the World Heritage List and to manage and protect these sites sustainably into the future. A World Heritage Site is a property that has been inscribed onto the World Heritage List by the World Heritage Committee of UNESCO. Properties can be either of cultural or natural significance or a combination of the two (mixed). Cultural heritage refers to monuments, groups of buildings and sites with historical, aesthetic, archaeological, scientific, ethnological or anthropological value.

    The Iconography of the Papil Stone: Sculptural and Literary Comparisons with a Pictish Motif*

    Proc Soc Antiq Scot 141 (2011), 159–205 THE ICONOGRAPHY OF THE PAPIL STONE | 159 The iconography of the Papil Stone: sculptural and literary comparisons with a Pictish motif* Kelly A Kilpatrick† ABSTRACT The axe-carrying bird-men and the remaining iconography of the cross-slab from Papil, West Burra, Shetland, are described and analysed. Special emphasis is placed on examining the Papil bird- men first with Irish and Pictish examples of the Temptation of St Antony and second with detailed descriptions of weapon-carrying bird-men and axe-carrying human figures in Pictish sculpture, concluding that the Papil bird-men belong with the latter. This motif is compared with descriptions of battlefield demons in early Irish literature, namely, Morrígan, Bodb and Macha. The Papil cross- slab is suggested to date to the early 9th century, based on technique and comparative iconographic evidence, and is thus contemporary with related Pictish examples. This motif is shown to represent a common ideal of mythological war-like creatures in Pictish tradition, paralleled by written descriptions of Irish battlefield demons, thus suggesting shared perceptions of similar mythological figures in the Insular world. A further connection between Ireland, Irish ecclesiastical foundations in the Hebrides, Shetland and southern Pictland is also discussed. INTRODUCTION Pictish monumental art.
