Welsh Nationalists Say Gold Cape Is Not Safe at British Museum

THE TELEGRAPH: Plaid Cymru has joined calls from other countries to repatriate artefacts in wake of theft revelations

Plaid Cymru wants the 4,000-year-old Mold Gold Cape returned to Wales
Welsh nationalists have joined the Chinese Communist Party and the Greek government in calling for the return of ancient artefacts from the British Museum.

Liz Saville-Roberts, Plaid Cymru’s group leader at Westminster, has repeated calls previously made by her party for the return of an almost 4,000-year-old gold cape in the wake of revelations about thefts at the museum.

The Welsh MP claimed the security of the museum is no longer a strong argument for keeping treasures from nations “under the control of the British Empire”, adding that the Mold Gold Cape and a bronze shield should be handed over. » | Craig Simpson | Tuesday, August 29, 2023
