A unique bone sceptre belonging to a Scythian warlord from the 5th century BC was discovered during excavations in the prehistoric salt production and urban centre Provadia-Solnitsata. The archaeological team is led by Professor Vassil Nikolov. The 39-centimetre sceptre was found in a grave with part of a skeleton of a Scythian warrior. An iron knife, horse ribs, a small dog and a turtle were also found there.
According to Professor Nikolov, four or five more Scythian graves were found in Northeastern Bulgaria, but such a sceptre is discovered for the first time. Its front part is ornithomorphic and looks like a beak of an eagle. There is an anthropomorphic image on the other side. The sceptre will be examined in a laboratory and then stored in the museum in Provadia.
