The Takeo provincial culture department on Sunday took possession of an ancient statue, believed to be of the Hindu God Vishnu, found by a farmer in Traing district’s Sambour commune while ploughing his land on Thursday.

 

District police chief Phan Phal yesterday identified the farmer as Nget Aun and said he reported the find to the department and urged authorities to come and take it. “He actually contacted the authorities to take possession of the statue,” he said. “This is unlike previous cases where people find ancient artefacts and try to conceal them from the department.”

 

Mr Phal noted that many people believe that the statue is that of the Kingdom’s Queen Soma, or Liu Yeh, who ruled the country in the first century. “It remains unclear who the statue represents, but people keep saying that it is of Queen Liu Yeh and this needs confirmation from experts,” he added.
