Chariot Earrings

Fascinating find in Bulgaria:

A 2200-year-old treasure trove of gold jewellery has been unearthed from a Thracian burial mound on Bulgaria's Black Sea coast.

Daniela Agre said her team found dozens of tiny jewellery pieces in the tomb of a woman, most likely a Thracian priestess, near the resort of Sinemorets, about 500km southeast of the capital.

The discovery included two earrings crafted like miniature chariots, and parts of gold necklaces, one decorated with a sculpture of a bull's head.
