By Diana Dimitrova, member of the National institute of Archeology and Museum, Bulgarian academy of Science, department of Thracians Archeology : « The monolithic chamber was covered with a gold-woven carpet. On this carpet, and on a small table placed on it, were placed some of the objects belonging to the sovereign during his symbolic burial. In the western part of the chamber, on the floor, appear his cuirass and his weapons, a bronze patera as well as gold sconces for his horse harness […] The room remained accessible for a certain time, later, the openings were walled up, the dromos was set on fire and then filled in. 7m from the façade, the bronze head of Seuthes III, whose patina study reveals an exposure to the open air, previously cut out and removed from the body of the statue, was ritually buried. » L’Épopée des rois Thraces, The Golyama Kosmatka tumulus, p118.
