Thracian Gold Treasure from Sveshtari (Bulgaria)
#1
I don't know if this has appeared on RAT yet (also using the “search” tool)… the news is from Nov 8, 2012.
Bulgarian archaeologists unearthed golden artefacts, including a golden horse head (ornament from a horse bit), a ring or brooch, and tiny busts of a woman, during excavation works in a Thracian tomb in Sveshtari (northern Bulgaria). The artifacts are dated 3rd century B.C.

Interesting though Wink, the article speaks about 44 applications of female figures that likely decorated clothing, but why not an armor component ...
