The Panagyurishte gold treasure is by far the the rischest and most brilliant gold hoard discovered, which was unearthed by accident by three brothers in 1949 during clay digging near the town of Panagyurishte.
It consists of nine solid gold vessels (a phiale, an amphora and seven rhytons) with total weight of 6.164 kg of 23-karat gold. All of the objects are richly and skilfully decorated with scenes of Thracian myths, customs and life.
