The Mold Cape - Historical Ancient Artifact

The Mold Cape is a gold cape made for a slender person, or perhaps a woman or child, almost four thousand years ago.

Well, recently I heard some really good news about this cape - it is going to be exhibited in Wrexham some time this summer, in Wrexham Museum & Archive's Gallery 3, in Regent Street, from the 7th of August to the 14th of September this year.



Probably one of the last chances to come along and see this most important cultural artifact of ancient Wales, before it goes back to its home in the British Museum. To say I'm chuffed is an understatement. I'm elated.
