Description

The gold kylix is an antique cup that resembles a wine cup. There are two horizontal handles and a stem. This find is considered fundamental - it is the only kylix made of gold found in our lands. The ancient Thracians usually made it from clay and sometimes from silver. The credit for the find goes to the Bulgarian archaeologist Prof. Georgi Kitov and the Thracian expedition led by him. In 2004, they discovered the tomb of a Thracian king in the ‘Golyama Kosmatka’ area near Kazanlak.

  • Because it is an asset. The replica of the gold kylix is handmade. Every detail has been repeatedly processed until it turned into a beautiful item similar to the original. The 24K gold coating is applied to the entire surface of the kylix to bring it to the original as much as possible.
  • Because it is a replica of a Thracian cup, which paid homage to the gods. The kylix existed many years ago, around the 4th century BC. Only the ruler had the right to drink thick red wine from it. ‘The ancient Thracians were the creators of the cult to wine and used it as a ritual gift for their gods’, says Roelof van den Broek one of the world's leading esoterics experts.

What is the gold kylix made of?

 

The replica of the ancient gold kylix is made by hand from copper, using an old craft method and with a little help from modern technologies. The handles of the cup are a complicated detail, which we process many times until we get their perfect shape. The main element is the double-walled cup. In the inner part, we forge fragments with figural elements, like those of the original. The whole item is gilded with 24K gold plating.
