Bryn Celli Ddu Burial Chamber, Anglesey, North Wales, 14.1.18.

Built around five thousand years ago, this is still s structure of both beauty and ingenuity. I’ve visited so many times but on a wet Saturday afternoon in January, the site was very busy with visitors. Glad I paid it a visit again.

Greek Corinthian Gold Myrtle Wreath, 330-250 BC

In ancient Greece, wreaths made from plants like laurel, ivy, and myrtle
were awarded to athletes, soldiers, and royalty. Similar wreaths were
designed in gold and silver for the same purposes or for religious
functions. This example conveys the language of love.
A plant sacred to the goddess Aphrodite, myrtle was a symbol of love.
Greeks wore wreaths made of real myrtle leaves at weddings and banquets,
received them as athletic prizes and awards for military victories, and
wore them as crowns to show royal status.
By the Hellenistic period (300–30 BC), the wreaths were made of gold
foil; too fragile to be worn, they were created primarily to be buried
with the dead as symbols of life’s victories. The naturalistic myrtle
leaves and blossoms on this wreath were cut from thin sheets of gold,
exquisitely finished with stamped and incised details, and then wired
onto the stems. Most that survive today were found in graves.
