Khan Kubrat's cup. Handmade from solid brass, gilded with 24 K gold. Size: Ф 10 cm. Height. 13 cm. Ritual goblet of Khan Kubrat from the treasure in Mala Pereshchepina, gilded replica. The treasure from Mala Pereshchepina was discovered in 1912 by a ten-year-old shepherd near the Vorskla River near the village near Poltava in present-day Ukraine. The discovered treasure dates from the middle of the VII century to the beginning of the VIII and is extremely rich - more than 800 gold (25 kg) and silver (50 kg) objects. The biggest mystery in this treasure turns out to be the gold rings with monograms in Greek. It was not until 1982 that the German scholar Johann Werner was able to decipher the text on them. Thus he understands that two of them belong to Khan Kubrat. The texts on them read: "of Kubrat" and "of Patricia Kubrat". The third ring belongs to Kubrat's uncle - Organa. Thus, it is indisputably proved that the treasure is Bulgarian and belongs to a Bulgarian ruler. In 1990, a Bulgarian-Soviet scientific expedition came to the conclusion that the find near Mala Pereshchepina was the grave of Khan Kubrat, not a Khazar leader. Today the treasure is stored in the Hermitage in St. Petersburg. One of the most attractive objects in this treasure is the ritual cup of Khan Kubrat.
