Aur o Gymru’r Oes Efydd
Aur o Gymru'r Oes Efydd
Late Bronze Age gold bracelet
Dyma freichled anghyflawn o eurddalen wedi’i thorchi yn un pen. Mae iddi drawstoriad fflat, petryal. Roedd y freichled wedi’i phlygu drosodd dair gwaith a’i rhoi yn soced bwyell efydd. Cadwyd un derfynell â’i phen wedi’i dorchi, ond roedd y llall wedi’i thynnu'n fwriadol yn yr hen oesoedd, fel y mae’r marciau torri’n dangos.
