Cultural artefacts gifted to Siem Reap museum

via Phnom Penh Post, 04 July 2023: A total of 77 artefacts, including plates, pottery, bracelets, knives, and axes, have been donated to the Norodom Sihanouk-Angkor Museum in Siem Reap for preservation

The artefacts, some intact with others in pieces, were handed over to the Siem Reap museum by local businessman Nak Borun.

On discovering the Norodom Sihanouk-Angkor Museum specialised in preserving ancient objects of artistic and cultural importance, Borun decided to donate the artefacts to the institution to take care of as inheritance for future generations, ANA said.

Borun had bought a number of of the 77 objects – some of which originated in Battambang province and some from Banteay Meanchey – from villagers, it added, while others were given to him. He did not know the age of the artefacts.
