EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the 1970s in Wales, where a new sign depicting the ancient tradition of Mari Lwyd was unveiled at the historic Old House Inn in Llangynwyd, Maesteg. Known as the oldest inn in Wales with roots dating back to 1147, this establishment holds a significant place in Welsh history and culture. The unveiling ceremony was conducted by Mr. J. Geraint Jenkins, an esteemed figure as the keeper of Material Culture at the renowned Welsh Folk Museum located in St Fagans. The image captures Mr. Jenkins on the right side after he had revealed the sign that offers liquid refreshment to a horse's head worn by landlord Mr. Ivor David during Mari Lwyd ceremonies. On his left stands Mrs. Winnie David, wife of Mr. Ivor David, along with Mr. Cynwyd Evans who is identified as the owner of this intriguing horse's head prop used during traditional festivities. This photograph not only showcases a momentous event but also highlights various elements such as costume, customs, and traditions associated with New Year processions in Wales. Preserved through time by Ted Marshman's lens for Memory Lane Prints collection, this image serves as a visual portal into Welsh heritage and invites us to delve deeper into its rich cultural tapestry.
