Fragments from Mold Cape and amber bead

Since its backing had decayed, the fragile cape broke up during recovery. The pieces were dispersed among various people. Although the British Museum acquired the greater proportion in 1836, small fragments have come to light intermittently over the years and have been reunited with the larger portion. These gold fragments are decorated with bosses, some with holes. Thesingle amber bead is from the same burial mound as the Cape. An estimated 200–300 amber beads, in rows, were on the Cape originally, but only a single bead survives at the British Museum
