The double disc is a Pictish symbol of unknown meaning that is frequently found on Class I and Class II Pictish stones,[1] as well as on Pictish metalwork.[2][3] The symbol can be found with and without an overlaid Z-rod (also of unknown meaning), and in combinations of both (as with the Monifieth 1 stone).
