The Panagyurishte Treasure (Bulgarian: Панагюрско златно съкровище) is a Thracian treasure excavated on 8 December 1949, by three brothers who worked together at the region of “Merul” tile factory near the town of Panagyurishte, Bulgaria: Pavel, Petko, and Michail Deikov.

All of the nine objects are richly and skilfully decorated with scenes of Thracian myths, customs and life. It is dated from the 4th-3rd centuries BC, and is thought to have been used as a royal ceremonial set by the Thracian king Seuthes III.

As one of the best known surviving artefacts of Thracian culture, the treasure has been displayed at various museums around the world.

When not on a tour, the treasure is the centerpiece of the Thracian art collection of the Plovdiv Regional Historical Museum, or at the National Museum of History in Sofia.

There are now three replica sets, which are displayed at the museum at Panagyurishte itself, and Sofia and Plovdiv when the real objects are lent for exhibitions elsewhere.
