The Mold gold cape[1][2] (Welsh: Clogyn Aur yr Wyddgrug)[3][4] is a ceremonial cape of solid sheet-gold from Wales dating from about 1900–1600 BC in the British Bronze Age.[5] It was found at Bryn yr Ellyllon burial mound near Mold, Flintshire in 1833.[6]
The cape is thought to have formed part of a ceremonial dress, perhaps with religious connections. It is now in the British Museum in London, where it is usually on display.
