The original of the Panagyurishte Gold Treasure is returning to Panagyurishte for the 150th anniversary of the April Uprising. From April 1st to May 17th, it will be exhibited in the "Treasury" hall of the Historical Museum in the town. For the rest of the time, a replica of the treasure is on display there.
It represents a Thracian set of seven gold vessels with a total weight of 6.164 kg, discovered on December 8, 1949, approximately two kilometers from Panagyurishte. The treasure includes rhytons, a phiale, an amphora, and a drinking horn, dating from the end of the 4th and the beginning of the 3rd century BC. The vessels are decorated with images of ancient deities and heroes, as well as scenes with mythological creatures.
The return of the original this year coincides with the celebrations marking the 150th anniversary of the April Uprising. Its last presentation in the town was in September last year.
