IT is the 14,000-year-old version of a snow dome.
Travellers during the late Ice Age would pick up an etched horse jawbone as a souvenir of their time in Europe.
Arriving in Wales they would then display the trinket in their cave as a memento of their time abroad.
And now experts believe this 11,500BC example is the “oldest ever piece of Welsh artwork”.
