Follow swords (2 different models), a quiver with arrows, a set of spears heads of different sizes.
There are segments of both armor chainmail and squamata (scale armor). But it is not excluded that this is come about the armor for the very horse.
One of the swords (2 swords were found in the funeral) is of the so-called Sarmatian type.This one which is classified as Sarmatian is dated to 1st century and is decorated with magical symbols that originate from the monogamas of Apollo, Helios and Dionysus. It is very interesting the Jade clamp of this sword (depicting a lion). Such jade clamps for scabbards are very rare for the Roman sword and are characteristic for Asia. Similar nephritis brackets for scabbards are described in artifacts from the distant Siberia.The presence of Sarmatian armor (sword) shows that the Thracians most likely have a relationship with the Sarmatians. Тhe possibility is not excluded to become а question about a military trophy here. But we can only guess ,this will remain a secret for us. A sword of Sarmatian origin is also found in a nearby burial from Karanovo.
