Artifact discovery leads Sisaket locals to believe good fortune will come about

BANGKOK, 14 April 2015 (NNT) – An ancient clay pottery has been discovered in Sisaket province, while locals believe that the artifact would bring good luck to the community as it was found during the Songkran or Thai new year period.

The urn-like item was discovered in Ban Nong Kham, Nam Kham sub-district, Mueang district, Sisaket. It has a round shape and a diameter of about 1.5 meters. Its finders suspect that the item may be more than a thousand years old.

According to Sa-ngiamsak Thongyun, chief of Nam Kham sub-district, locals have been hearing loud gong-like noise in the area a few nights before the discovery of the artifact. He said locals investigating the noise found a large hole, and decided to excavate. The urn was consequently discovered.

The district office is having the Fine Arts Department send in specialists to inspect the item.
