Thracian tomb of Aleksandrovo kurgan, Ancient burial complex in Haskovo Province, Bulgaria

The tomb consists of a round chamber measuring 3 meters in diameter, connected to an antechamber through a 6-meter-long tunnel.

The discovery of this tomb in December 2000 occurred during earth-moving operations, followed by archeologist Georgi Kitov's excavation efforts in 2001.

The tomb's frescoes depict hunting scenes featuring mounted hunters, boar attacks, and figures wearing Greek-influenced clothing and accessories.

The Museum Centre of Thracian Art in Eastern Rhodopes houses an exact replica of the tomb, making it accessible for visitors.

A graffito inscription bearing the Thracian name Kozemases suggests this individual was either the tomb's noble patron or its skilled artist.
