In 1965, a private yard in the town of Vratza became the site where two graves were discovered. One of them was already robbed, probably in the ancient times.
Two bodies were found in one of the graves, male and female. Other findings included some silver and bronze containers, various weapons and a hearse. Historians believe that the grave belonged to a Thracian princess from the Triballi tribe.
A golden tiara, golden earrings, a silver knee-piece with a golden female face printed on it, an amphora with the shape of cone, a golden decorated jug and a vial featuring a golden female head with gorgeous hair dress are some of the other findings.
The treasure dates back to the 4th century BC and is kept at the National Museum of History in Sofia.
