Description

The north-west slopes of Moel Hebog towards Moel yr Ogof, Gwynedd, Wales

The late Bronze Age shield was found in a bog near Moel Hebog mountain in 1784, near Beddgelert. It is now in the British Museum's collection.[2][3][4] Other sources point to a finding on Moel Siabod.[1][5]

Richard Blurton wrote of the shield in the book The Enduring Image: Treasures from the British Museum, "This shield is a splendid example, representative of the rise of large sheet-bronze work in later Bronze Age Europe. Much effort was directed towards the production of ceremonial metal armour indicating the prevalence of the idea of man as a warrior."[6]

There have been calls for the artefact to be returned to Wales.[7]
