Pictish Epona Pony Tattoo Design crow One of the most complexThe ancient Scottish Inverurie stone carving of a prancing horse is the starting point for this unique pattern. Here the representation of Epona the Horse Goddess is silhouetted against a Celtic knot, making a fine symbol of equine power and grace.
