Panagyurishte marks 75th anniversary of the discovery of emblematic Thracian gold treasure

The treasure was discovered by chance in 1949, when workers digging for clay near Panagyurishte unearthed it at a depth of 2.2 meters. Consisting of nine vessels — a phiale (a shallow ceremonial bowl) and eight rhytons (wine-drinking vessels) — the treasure showcases masterful goldsmithing. Its forms blend Hellenic motifs with Thracian and Achaemenid artistic traditions.
