	The Madara Horseman
		The might of the ruler was depicted with various images of lion-killing in Egypt, Assyria and particularly in Persia during the period of the Achaemenids.
		The rider in the Madara relief is seated on a saddle with a back - a type of saddle known from certain Eastern pictures.
		The right hand of the rider holds the spear, which is piercing the neck of the lion, and the left hand holds the rein.

	Another points of view
		What is now left of the Madara texts is sufficient to reveal, together with the regional and stylistic particularities of the relief, the time when it was carved and its nationality.
		For the Thracian Heroes both the lion and the dog are companions in hunting while the Madara rider is stabbing the lion, which is obviously an enemy.
		The Madara Horseman was carried out in pagan times but as it was connected not with religious beliefs but with issues of the state it was not attacked by the Christian Church.

	Madara Horseman
		The monument of the Madara Horseman /or Madara Rider/ was carved at the beginning of the 8th century.
		The rider's dress, the pattern of the saddle and the stirrup suggest that the relief can be associated with the artistic work of proto-Bulgarians, to which Bulgaria's then monarchs belonged, rather than with the Byzantine, the Slavic, or the Thracian traditions.
		The preservation of the Madara Horseman presents a technical challenge: the relief was meant to be of the open air, but some Bulgarian experts have concluded that installing a permanent roof over it is the only solution - and as soon as possible - so that stabilization of the carvings can begin.
