Customs officers at Bulgaria's Kalotina border checkpoint found an ancient silver cup in a bus leaving Bulgaria June 11th. The cup was dated back to the 4th century B.C.
Officers were unable to identify the owner of the cup and granted it to Bulgaria's National Museum of History. This cup belonged to an ancient Thracian king, Bozhidar Dimitrov, director of the museum, said Monday.
The two-handled cup has unique gold-plated ornaments. There are only two similar cups discovered in Bulgaria so far, Dimitrov said.
