Description

It was perhaps the various connections that brought to mind Pictish silver, when I was asked to name my subject, because I remember once talking to the Society, back in the 1980s, on the subject of a lost Pictish treasure from Orkney. So Pictish silver is my topic, despite having been reminded recently by Isabel Henderson, my ‘Pictish’ predecessor as Chadwick Memorial Lecturer, that I had told her a decade ago that I had just given ‘my last word’ on this subject in a paper read at Cornell and Kalamazoo! This was, in fact, never published and, in any case, much of importance has happened in Pictish studies in the meantime so that it is not really surprising that I find myself wanting to return to this subject once again.
