Pictish Symbol Stone

Abernethy, Perthshire

Dating from around the 6th or 7th centuries, this stone is located
against the side of a Pictish round tower in the Perthshire village of Abernethy.
The stone is said to depict a hammer, anvil and a so called 'tuning fork?'
As the tuning fork wasn't invented until 1711 I think it's more likely to be a comb?
