The original of the ancient Thracian dish was discovered in the temple of Seuthes III in the Golyama Kosmatka mound.
The silver jug impresses with its perfect shape. Its surface is smooth, without interruption of the line or overlapping of the material. The widening starts from the base and goes smoothly along the upward curve, reaching its largest size in the middle part of the jug and narrowing towards the neck and turning into a trefoil mouth. Its appearance strongly resembles an oinochoe - an ancient wine jug. In translation, ‘oinochoe’ means ‘wine pourer’. Its handle is solid and has an ancient Greek text clearly written on it. According to archaeologists, it undoubtedly belonged to the Odrysians king Seutus III.
