In front of us is the impressive figure of the founder of the Bulgarian state Asparuh. The first official paper, initiating the beginning of the Bulgarian state, dates back to year 681. That was the time when the peace treaty with the Byzantine emperor Konstantin IV Pogonat was signed. And undoubtedly this remains the most important question for clarifying the nature, organization and function of the newly built Bulgarian state. Pliska was chosen for the capital of the state. It is the proximity of the first Bulgarian capital that makes us think that here on these land, as it is said in the legend, Asparuh stuck his sword in the ground and said, �Here is to be Bulgaria � under this sky, on this land!� The image of Asparuh has not got any concrete authenticity, we have no records telling us what he was like, but everyone will search and find in him the image of the First-Founder.

Behind him in a triumphant pace is the horse � the true friend of Proto-Bulgarian people.

And the dog � the sacrifice animal of Proto-Bulgarian, is down on the left of the khan.

The authors of the composition searched for a prototype of the horse and the dog in the relief of Madara rocks.

Above the horse, on the left there are some fragments from the �Name list of the Bulgarian Khans� � the oldest written source about Bulgarian history with an important informative value, cultural, historical and social-political significance.

It comprises information concerning the language, the chronology and the social-political life of the Proto-Bulgarian.

Under the hoof of the horse the authors wished to present the land where the Bulgarian people step on � Orpheus with his harp, whose marvelous and fascinating voice wondered humans and animals, four fairies � goddesses of the four seasons and one sun-dial.
