My uncle broke ranks with my Methodist family & told me the Glyderau mountains of Dyffryn Ogwen are home to Gods, & Angels live in the rivers & trees on the valley floor As a child I listened in awe to his stories of a life with Nature, & still have no reason to not believe him

You can't blame Ed Sheeran for caving in to American stadium owners I suppose. I mean, take these guys in the 60s, they refused to play to racially-segregated audiences in stadiums in the southern states of the USA and who remembers them now?

The Beatles banned segregated audiences, contract shows

The Lady of Elche. This remarkable 2,400 year-old limestone bust of a woman with elaborate headdress and jewellery is an icon of Iberian culture from pre-Roman Spain. From La Alcudia, Elche, Spain. National Archaeological Museum, Madrid. 📷 by me #Archaeology
My photo shows a famous Iberian limestone sculpture known as ‘La Dama de Elche’ / The Lady of Elche, on display at the National Archaeological Museum in Madrid. Here is a description by the museum:

“Female bust that features a lady's face with very perfect features and that preserves traces of polychromy on the lips and specific areas of face and clothing. The lady is richly dressed: on her head she wears a headdress formed by a pointed tiara covered by a veil and on top of it a strap that joins the two side “cases" that frame the face, where the hairstyle and a headband would be collected on the forehead; the back and shoulders are covered with a mantle that forms folds on the front and exposes three necklaces with amphoras and amulet holders; the earrings of plates and infulas that hang on the sides of the face, and a small fibula that closes the tunic on the neckline. At the back, it has a hole whose function has given rise to numerous interpretations. It was richly painted with red, blue and yellow tones and application of gold sheets, of which hardly any traces remain.

Technically and stylistically it is considered a work of strong Greek influence, possibly made by an artist of this origin, perhaps linked to the nearby town of Santa Pola, after receiving the commission of a high-ranking Iberian character.

It has been speculated about its function but with a posterior opening it suggests a use as a funerary vessel, just like the Lady of Baza. At the same time, it has been interpreted as the representation of a goddess, a priestess, or some royal character or of the aristocracy adorned for a special ceremony and dressed in her best clothes that could constitute her wedding dress composed of three necklaces, diadem and fibula, comparable to those found in several treasures”.
