This 3rd century
B.C. Thracian tomb reflects the fundamental structural
principles of Thracian cult buildings. The decoration
of the burial chamber is exceptionally interesting, a
unique blend of art and architecture.
The stone architrave,
around the walls, is supported by ten caryatids. The wall
opposite the door is painted in navy blue crayon and depicts
the heroicisation of the deceased.
The central chamber is
richly ornamented. The chamber was decorated as a facade
of a temple with depicted horseman who takes a golden
garland from the hands of a goddess with a religious procession
following her. The three walls have high relief with 10
caryatides.
It is situated in Northern
Bulgaria, near the town of Isperih.
