The Kazanlac tomb in Bulgaria is a vaulted brickwork beehive structure, part of a large Thracian necropolis. It features a narrow corridor and a round burial chamber adorned with murals of a Thracian couple at a funeral feast. Dating back to the 4th century BCE, it has been a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1979. The murals are notable for their depiction of horses and a tender farewell gesture. While not all experts agree, some consider these paintings Bulgaria's best-preserved Hellenistic masterpieces. Located near the ancient Thracian capital of Suthopula, the tomb is closed to the public to protect its sensitive paintings, with a replica available nearby. The seated woman from the murals is featured on the Bulgarian 50 Stotinki coin issued in 2005.
