Тракийският воин от Руец

   In January 1925, near the modern village of Ruets (Northeastern Bulgaria), treasure hunters excavated the Mal-yuk mound and discovered a momumental tomb. It is the earliest dated tomb from the second half of the 5th century BC and it testifies to the formation of a local dynastic centre in this part of Northeast Thrace. A total of 30 artifacts were found in it — they could be functionally distinguished as follows: I. Armor: 1. Chalcidian type bronze helmet. 2. Bronze cuirass with a mitra. II. Offensive weapons: 3. Iron sword akinakes. 4-5. Two iron spearheads. 6-16. Eleven bronze arrowheads. III. Horse harness: 17. Iron bridle. 18. Silver buckle. 19. Bronze buckle. IV. Banquet vessels: 20. Bronze amphora. 21. Bronze stainer. 22. Bronze situla. 23. Bronze lekane. 24-26. Three bronze objects belonging to a bronze crater. V. Ceramic vessels: 27. Red-figure hydria. VI. Oilment objects: 28. Glass aryballos. VII. Bone objects: 29. Cyllindrical objects with incised decoration. 30. Objects with elliptical cross-section and incised decoration.
