Ostrusha mound, Archaeological museum in Kran, Bulgaria
The Ostrusha burial complex contains six chambers constructed with granite blocks, including a central room adorned with ceiling frescoes and multiple connecting passages.
Excavations in 1993 revealed a 4th century BCE Thracian tomb complex measuring 100 square meters, utilizing two massive granite blocks weighing over 60 tons each.
The ceiling frescoes display detailed portraits, including a preserved image of a young noblewoman wearing golden jewelry, representing Thracian artistic traditions.
The burial complex remains open daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with guided tours available in multiple languages through staff at Great Kosmatka.
The southwestern chamber contained silver horse ornaments, including a decorative headpiece featuring stylized axes and a three-dimensional griffin head with detailed engravings.
