The tomb was discovered in 1944 and dates back to the Hellenistic period at the end of the 4th century BC. It is part of a large Thracian necropolis near Theutopolis, the capital of the Thracian King Theutes III. The domed tomb has a narrow corridor and a circular chamber, both decorated with frescoes representing Thracian funeral rites and culture. The paintings are the best-preserved masterpieces of Hellenistic art in Bulgaria.
