Madara Rider
The Madara Rider or Madara Horseman ((ブルガリア語:Мадарски конник), ''Madarski konnik'') is an early medieval large rock relief carved on the Madara Plateau east of Shumen in northeastern Bulgaria, near the village of Madara. The monument is dated in the very late 7th, or more often very early 8th century, during the reign of Bulgar Khan Tervel.〔 In 1979 became enlisted on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
==Description==
The relief depicts a majestic horseman above ground level in an almost vertical -high cliff. The horseman, facing right, is thrusting a spear into a lion lying at his horse's feet, and on the left a dog is running after the horseman.〔
The meaning and sybolism of the depiction is uncertain.〔 The hero-horseman is a common character of Turko-Altaic and Alanic mythology.〔 It is generally considered that the horseman represents or is related to the Bulgar deity Tangra, while Vladimir Toporov related it to the Iranian deity Mithra.〔
Beneath the relief were found the remnants of a complex which is considered to have been a pagan shrine and a building, probably the ruler's private dwelling, where the ruler did sacral rituals related to Tangra.〔 At the site was also found a damaged inscription by Khan Omurtag which mentions the deity Tangra.〔
