The tomb of a Thracian nobleman was discovered in 2000 in the Peichova mound near the village of Starosel in the Hissarya region.
This well preserved grave was built in a sacred rock and the bodily remains were buried under a stone block. This fact leads to the conclusion that the tomb belonged to a noble Thracian Orpheus follower.
Many treasures were found in the grave including three silver horse decoration sets, several silver containers, a full weapon set with gold decoration and a unique ring-stamp with a wild-boar hunt scene pictured on it.
A shelter was constructed over the grave, enabling visitors to explore it.
