Preslav Treasure, Medieval jewelry collection in Veliki Preslav, Bulgaria.
The Preslav Treasure contains more than 170 gold and silver objects, including necklaces, earrings, rings, and decorative elements for clothing and religious items.
Agricultural workers discovered the treasure in 1978 near Veliki Preslav, where it had been hidden during conflicts between 969 and 972 involving Byzantine forces.
The jewelry demonstrates advanced metalworking techniques of the First Bulgarian Empire, incorporating granulation, filigree work, and colored enamel decorations.
Visitors can examine the collection at the Veliki Preslav Museum of Archaeology, where the pieces underwent extensive restoration and conservation treatments.
The central necklace features 13 gold tablets and seven medallions with religious imagery, including depictions of the Virgin Mary on its main elements.
