Undisputed as the most dangerous animal in the forest, the prey that proved bravery, the boar figures prominently on many heraldic family crests because only the strongest could win a contest with him. This mighty Pictish boar was originally carved into a gigantic standing stone in Scotland sometime in the third century, and embodies the sleek power of this most masculine of fierce animals. His feet are trampling through a knotwork that is made of his own tail, and the line of the tusk forms an arc in the jaw. A warrior's totemic tattoo.
