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 📸 me

It’s astonishing - quite a lot of presence. I was going to return for another view this Thursday, but seeing as the grounds of the Villa are currently burning (and possibly the staff buildings), that’s probably not going to happen for a long time. ☹️
