The Mars figurine had its head, arms, and legs removed as part of an anti-pagan ritual, according to the Bulgarian archaeologists.
“This is a way in which the owner of this figurine demonstrated that they had renounced the old pagan gods, and had adopted Christianity,” explains archaeologist Angel Konakliev from the Targovishte Regional Museum of History, as cited by BTA.
