Description: | From 'Open Air Sculpture in Britain': Portland stone and Ffestiniog slate, mounted on a rough plinth with a slate slab supporting the five carved forms. The centre, thicker twin upright is in Portland stone, contrasting with the dark grey of the other slate forms. From the side, the slate forms resemble shields held upside down in the immemorial Welsh legend 'Is it peace?'.' Additional Information: 'Y Tywysogion' - The Princes. Aberffraw was associated with Rhodri Mawr (d.877), Owain Gwynedd (1110-1170) and Llywelyn Fawr (1173-1240). It was the site of the Welsh court and during the reign of Llywelyn Fawr (1173-1240) it became the chief seat of the Prince of Gwynedd. | Subjects: | Ā Sculpture | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Sculptor: Jones, Jonah | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=6709... | Go to resource |
