Lukovit Treasure

It consists of two groups of objects: plates, applications for horse bridles and vessels, 9 phiales, 3 ewers and a bowl.

[1] The objects are made of silver, some of them gilded in order to reinforce the artistic images and to put emphasis on the ornaments.

Phiales and the bowl are richly adorned with ornaments, depicting floral shapes, human heads and other artistic elements.

[2] Another plate depicts two horsemen chasing lions, which are already overtaken and fallen under the hoofs of the horses.

The rulers and their companies did spread by all possible means the legends for their exceptional divine origin and even by the trimming of the horse bridles made the common subjects to have faith and to obey.
