Mogilan Mound

The Mogilan Mound is a 4th-century BC Thracian burial mound in Vratsa, northwestern Bulgaria. Accidentally discovered in 1965 during construction, it contained three stone-built tombs with human and horse remains and chariots. The intact tomb yielded a spectacular treasure including a golden laurel wreath, 47 gold appliques, silver phialae, a rhyton-shaped amphora, and 50 clay figures. Believed to be a royal tomb of the Triballi tribe, the gold wreath adorned an elite Thracian princess whose face was later reconstructed by anthropologists.
