Thracian Treasure at History Museum Vratsa Bulgaria
History Museum . However, the real attraction here is some of finest Thracian gold and silver yet discovered in northern Bulgaria. A room is devoted to the Rogozen Treasure (Rogozensko sukrovishte), a collection of more than 150 silver ewers and bowls discovered in 1983. Made for a Thracian noble family between the 5th and 4th centuries BC, the vessels are richly decorated, some with abstract swirls and stripes, others with mythological subjects and hunting scenes. A particularly impressive piece is a pitcher with a powerful portrait of the Thracian mother-goddess astride a lion.
