Cardiff's 'Mona Lisa' mural recreated after being painted over for McDonald's advert

A beloved mural celebrating diversity in Cardiff has been recreated after it was painted over to make way for a McDonald's advert.

The My City, My Shirt mural was painted on James Street in Butetown in April last year, as part of a campaign of the same name, which aims to encourage more ethnic minorities to connect with their city and football club.

Dubbed the "Mona Lisa" of the capital, the striking artwork features mother-of-two Maimuna Yoncana, originally from Guinea-Bissau, wearing a Cardiff City shirt and cradling her baby bump.
