From _Christian Iconography_ (Didron).] When the head of the beneficent and blessed Bran was deposited at London it is said to have rested there for a long time with the eyes looking towards France. One of the most remarkable and mysterious of the Pictish symbols, found alike in Picardy and Pictland generally, is the so-called butterfly design of which three typical examples are here illustrated. What it seems to represent is _Browen_ or the _Brows_, but it is also an excellent bird, butterfly, or _papillon_: or as we speak familiarly of using our brains, and as the grey matter of the brain actually consists of two divisions, which scientists entitle the _cerebrum_ and the _cerebellum_, the two-browed butterfly might not illogically be designated the brains. Both Canon Greenwell and Sir Arthur Evans have drawn attention to similar representations of the human face on early objects from Troy and the Ægean; the same symbol is found on sculptured menhirs of the Marne and Gard valleys in France, while clay vessels with this ornament, belonging to the early age of metal, have been found in Spain. The "butterfly" is seen on gold roundels from the earliest (shaft) graves at Mycenæ, and as Sir Hercules Read has rightly said, "everything points to the transmission of that influence to the British Isles by way of Spain".[393] [Illustration: FIG. 222.--The Trinity in One God, Supporting the World. Fresco of the Campo Santo of Pisa, XIV. Cent. From _Christian Iconography_ (Didron).] The Scandinavians assigned three eyes to Thor, and Thor, as has been seen, was attributed by them to Troy. On the stone illustrated on p. 381, now built into the church at Dingwall--a name which means _court hill_--three circles are on one side and two upon the other: some of the Trojan idols are three-eyed and some are "butterflies". Is it possible that this Elphin little face, or _papillon_, was the precursor of the modern cherub or Amoretto, and that it was the Puck of the Iberian Picts, who conceived their Babchild or Bacchild as peeping, _pry_ing, touting, and _peer_ing perpetually upon mankind? The ancients imagined that every worthy soul became a star, whence it is possible that the small blue flower we call a periwinkle was, like the daisy, a symbol of the fairy, phairy, or peri _peri_scope. In Devonshire the speedwell (_Veronica +chamædrys_) is known as Angels' Eyes; in Wales it is entitled the Eye of Christ:[394] the word _periwinkle_ may be connoted with the phairies Periwinkle, and Perriwiggen, who figure in the court of Oberon.
