This gold mask is the second-largest mask ever found in our lands. Its original size is about 250 mm. It belonged to a Thracian ruler. According to its discoverer, archaeologist Dr. Georgi Kitov, the leader carried it on his chest. It was found in Dalakova mound, near the town of Sliven, together with two gold phiales and other funeral gifts. It is assumed that it is from the 4th century BC.
The artefacts are kept in the Sliven museum so that anyone who wishes can look at them.

How and what material is the mask made of?
When making a replica of an antique dish, we always try to preserve the spirit and message of the original object.
We make the mask from copper sheet. Its shape is round. It has a man's face stylized on the front. The original was damaged on its right side, and we transferred the damage to the replica as it was found. We have placed the mask on a walnut wooden base so it can be hung up on a wall. The gold plating is 24K.
Personalise your present
- Combine the gold mask with the gold phiale found in the same mound. This will make your gift even more impressive. Both items belonged to a great ruler from the 4th century BC. A set that impresses with its elegance and simplicity, pleasing people’s eyes since ancient times.
- You could add a metal plaque with a personal message. We can make a metal plaque with your personal message, company logo or monogram for the gift box. This gesture will emphasise your personal attitude towards the recipient and will add emotional value to your present.
