dbo:abstract
  • Die 1928/29 ausgegrabene Sculptor’s Cave (deutsch „Höhle des Bildhauers“) ist eine meernahe Naturhöhle bei Elgin in Moray in Schottland, deren Eingangsbereich mit piktischen Symbolen verziert ist. Dazu gehören u. a. Blumen (englisch pictish flowers), Fische, Halbmonde, Pentagramme, Spiegel, V-Stäbe, dreifache Ovale und rechteckige Symbole. Bei der Angabe der Zahl der Symbole gibt es Schwankungen. Trotz sorgfältiger Recherche im Jahr 1979 wurden in der Höhle selbst keine Symbole gefunden. Gruppen von Symbolen liegen nor in der Nähe der beiden Eingänge. (de)
  • La cueva del Escultor (en inglés: Sculptor’s Cave) es una cueva de piedra arenisca en la costa sur del fiordo Moray en Escocia, cerca del pequeño asentamiento de Covesea, entre Burghead y Lossiemouth en Moray.​ Su nombres se debe a las tallas pictas grabadas en las paredes de la cueva cerca de sus entradas.​ Hay siete grupos de tallas que datan del siglo VI o VII, entre los que se incluyen motivos de peces, medialunas y varillas en V, pentáculo, triple óvalo, escalones, rectángulos, discos y rectángulos, flores y patrones en espejo,​ algunos muy básicos pero otros más sofisticados. ​ (es)

The cave is 20m deep and 13.5m wide with a 5.5m high roof and can be entered by two parallel 11m long passages, each 2-3m wide. It lies at the base of 30m high cliffs and is largely inaccessible at high tide. The cave was first excavated between 1928 and 1930 by Sylvia Benton, who discovered evidence of two main periods of activity on the site: the first during the late Bronze Age, and the second during the late Roman Iron Age, between the 2nd and 4th centuries AD.
