The found – described as highly unusual - was made in a newly discovered necropolis in the famous village of Svestari in north-east Bulgaria.

The buried woman had exquisite pearl ornaments, according to Professor Diana Gergova, who led the dig.
In September, Gergova’s team found in Sveshtari the remains of a 2500-year-old Thracian carriage and two horses that appear to have been buried upright.
