These delicately fabricated arrangements of artificial flower wreaths for a graveside, came from Llywel churchyard near Sennybridge. Known as an ‘immortelle’, they are made from porcelain and would have been protected by a glass dome beneath a wire cage. Immortelles were popular in the late 19th and early 20th century but few now survive. Daeth y trefniadau hyn oedd wedi'u gwneud yn ofalus o dorchau blodau artiffisial ar gyfer bedd, o fynwent Llywel ger Pont Senni. Fe'u gelwir yn 'immortelle', ac maent wedi'u gwneud o borslen a byddent wedi cael eu gwarchod gan gromen wydr o dan gawell o wifrau. Roedd 'immortelles' yn boblogaidd ar ddiwedd y 19eg a dechrau'r 20fed ganrif ond ychydig sydd wedi goroesi bellach.
