From Bronze Age Wales, the spectacular Mold Cape! 馃ぉ
An incredible ancient feat of sheet-goldworking, beaten from a single gold ingot some 3,600 years ago!
The extraordinary embossed decoration is said to mimic strings of beads.

#FindsFriday! One of the oldest known musical instruments in the world: a #Palaeolithic #flute made from a #vulture bone some 38,000 years ago! This is one of eight known flutes found on the Swabian Jura. The finds suggest that music played an important role in this region.
Found in the Hohle Fels cave near Schelklingen.
