A statue of a female, most likely of a priestess, was discovered by archaeologists at Heraclea Sintica, an ancient city in the Rupite area near Petrich. The statue is very well preserved, although the head and arms are missing, said Assoc. Prof. Dr. Ludmil Vagalinski - head of archaeological works in the area. He told BTA that the object dates back to 1-2 century AD. Most likely the statue fell down during the great earthquake that occurred at the end of the IV century. The statue impresses with its details and fine craftsmanship. One can see the sandals, the folds of the garment, etc. in much detail. According to experts, there is a peculiarity in the clothing that suggests that this woman might have been a priestess. In addition to the standard clothing for women of antiquity, she also wears an additional garment, which in the way it is presented, creates the impression of leather. The statue is to be preserved, restored and then exhibited alongside other statues discovered in Heraclea Sintica.
