The Borovo Thracian treasure was found by accident in the late 1974, during deep ploughing of one of the cultivated fields at the Belensky Hill, located nearby the village of Borovo (Bulgaria)

It is a splendid table set of five silver-and-gilt vessels: three rhytons, shaped at the base in the form of half-figures: of a horse, a bull, and a sphinx; a big bowl with two handles, and a rhyton jug-pitcher with images of deities enjoying a feast, scenes from the mythological cycles with Dionysus and Heracles, sphinxes, satyrs and griffons. The finding has been dated to the first half of the 4th century BC.

There is an inscription on the sphinx-headed rhyton reading as follows: “[Belongs to] Cotys from [the town of] Beos.” This sign gives grounds to assume that the treasure set was a gift from the king of Thrace Cotys I (382-359 BC) to a local Getic ruler. Both the historical sources and the archaeological findings prove the popularity of ritual gift giving in ancient Thrace.
