The Tomb of Seuthes III (Odrysian king in Thrace during the late 4th century BC) is situated in the Golyamata Kosmatka Mound, at a distance of 1 km south from the town of Shipka north from the town of Kazanlak. It was found in 2004. The Tomb was built in the second half of the 5th century BC. The following items were found inside it – the golden crown of the ruler, a golden kilix (a wine glass), knee-pads and a helmet, applications for horse tackle, etc., which are presented in the historical museum of the town of Kazanlak. A remarkable thing is the bronze head of the statue of Seuthes III buried ritually in front of the facade, which is quite detailed. It is important evidence of the Thracian Orphic rituals.
