Seeing what else the muesuem had to offer . I enter a room with a sublime collection Ancient stuff . Never seen Bronze and Iron Age artefacts up close before .
Iron Age God Head aka Hendy Head ...
...was discovered in the 1950s while ploughing a field at Hendy farm near Llanfairpwllgwyngyll on Anglesey., it was carved from quartz-rich red sandstone stands at half a metre high . The top of the head is flat . A hole has been drilled through the mouth . The purpose is unknown .May have been where offerings were placed .
