Such a privilege to have seen the bronze portrait head of the Thracian king Seuthes III, discovered in 2004 in the Golyama Kosmatka tumulus in Bulgaria. It was ripped from the body of a statue, no trace of which was found in the tumulus. #archaeology. 1/ ca. 310-300 BCE 馃摳 me

The bronze portrait of Seuthes III, along with three rooms filled with Thracian treasures, can be seen at the #GettyVilla during the run of its exhibition 'Ancient Thrace and the Classical World', running now through early March. Highly recommended! 3/
