Treasures

The PANAGYURISHTE Treasure
Found accidentally in 1949. Made of pure gold, weight of 6.164 kg. The amphora-rhyton, the four rhytons shaped like animal heads or fore-parts and decorated with mythological scenes, the three jugs-rhytons shaped like women's heads and the phiale decorated with a black head and acorns compose a ceremonial set, possessed by a Thracian king, probably Sevt III. The designations on the phiale and two of the vessels connect its production with the name of the town of Lampasak on the Dardanelles.
On the edge of the mouth, profiled outwards, centaurs shooting by bows have stepped. They form the handles, developing into columns. A relief figured frieze between bands of palmethas decorates the ovoid body. Seven big men in hlamidas are presented. Some of them, on the tramped appeal, attack with machairs an ornamented gate, behind which an old man is peering. Others doing some guesswork. Under the handles, on the bottom, there are two heads of black people with opened mouths. There is a silen with a beard with a double-barrelled flute offering a kantaros. On the other side is the Child Heracle with two snakes in his hands.

The ROGOZEN Treasure
In the Thracians' land numerous treasures were found. Some of them were put simply in the ground without any traces of a necropolis, a settlement or a sanctuary. The biggest and the richest treasure from that period found till now, the Rogozen Treasure, was a possession of the dynasty court of the Triballoi. It consists of 165 artifacts collected by several generations. The mouth's edge is curved outwards and profiled. They have a relief band decorated with ovules or kima in the nesk's base. The handles are shaped in a different way, decorated by helixes and palmethas and by a wild boar's head in one of the cases. The common feature for this type is the decoration of the body. It consists of relief lotus blossoms with a point curved outwards.
