Images of a Pictish warrior on a two-metre high monolith uncovered close to a Perth football ground have been recreated by archaeologists.
The stone, depicting a male figure carrying a spear, was found during construction of a road near McDiarmid Park in 2017.
An Aberdeen University team has now clarified the carving using 3D imaging.
They said the monolith, known as the Tulloch Stone, was a "significant find."
The stone will undergo further research and preservation before going on display at a new museum in Perth in 2022.
The research team said similarities between the stone and two others found at Rhynie in Aberdeenshire and Newton of Collessie in Fife are "filling the gaps" of Scotland's undocumented history.
