Masterpiece of Hellenistic Realism in Art | The bronze head of Seuthes III

The bronze head of Seuthes III was discovered in 2004 by Bulgarian archaeologists in the royal burial site of Golyama Kosmatka, not far from the ancient city of Seuthopolis. Seuthes III was a king of Odrysia, a part of Thrace, during the late 4th century BC. The findings at Golyama Kosmatka suggest that an Orphic ritual was carried out on the day of his burial.
