What a fascinating intriguing post, Kate. Archaeology and heritage/culture! I've seen that snake stele online before, and wondered if any person has had any luck at all with interpreting the purpose of such deep detailed carvings. Thanks for the correct pronunciation of the Stone of Scone, by the way.
Interesting. This makes me also think of the repatriation of artefacts and sacred cultural objects from national museums. https://jillswenson.substack.com/p/when-looted-artifacts-return-home
