Inspired by the Pictish stone known as Aberlemno 2. 
 This A4 print by Hamish illustrates the battle face if the stibe. 
Below the symbols are four scenes from a battle--it is widely accepted that this is the Battle of Nechtansmere fought in AD685, which took place less that ten miles from Aberlemno. The Northumbrian King Ecgfrid and his warriors invaded northwards, but were defeated by the Pictish leader Brude mac Bili.
The top scene shows two horsemen: a Pictish swordsman chases his helmeted foe who has thrown away his weapon and shield. (The shield is clearly visible behind the fleeing warrior. His sword can just be made out to the right of the shield--it is vertical with the hand-guard down.) The long nose-guard on the helmet identifies the fleeing warrior (and the other warriors on the right-hand side of the stone) as an Anglian. Similar helmets were found in the Coppergate excavations in York and has been dated to the 8th century. The undocked tail of the fleeing horse and the large saddle blanket suggest a warrior of some importance--possibly King Ecgfrid himself.
The middle scene shows three Pictish foot-soldiers standing against an Anglian horseman, and is suggestive of Pictish battle tactics: the right-most Pict protects himself with his shield and has his sword ready to slash; behind him stands a spearsman uses his lance to protect the swordsman. A second spearsman stands at the ready to the rear.
Bottom-left, an Anglian horseman is at the point of throwing his spear at a Pict.
Bottom-right, a dead Anglian is prey for the symbolic raven.
