Thread is worthless without Picts!
“The Trvve Picture of a VVomen Picte.” Theodor de Bry’s engraving of a Pict woman (a member of an ancient Celtic people from Scotland), published in Thomas Hariot’s 1588 book A Briefe and True Report of the New Found Land of Virginia. The woman stands with a long spear held upright in her left hand, and two long spears held horizontally in her right hand. She wears only a large ring around her waist, from which a curved sword hangs behind her, and a smaller ring around her neck. Much of her body appears to be painted or tattooed. In the background, two buildings stand on hillsides.

Interesting. I have seen that illustration before presented as a picture of an American Indian woman.

Do you know if they actually arrayed themselves like this? Or is it just a symbolic representation?

I have nothing against naked women, far from it, but having been to Scotland there are darn few days a woman could dress (or undress) like that. :-))
