Temple pieces found in Pursat

via Phnom Penh Post, 02 March 2020: The lintel styles found here do not match the other previously found in Pursat province.

Residents of Pursat province’s Stok Chum and Tuol Phou villages in Koh Chum commune handed over two lintels from ancient temples and a piece of medicine-grinding rock to the provincial Department of Culture and Fine Arts for storage and study.

Koh Chum commune police chief Saing Bres told The Post that the ancient lintels were found by villagers after digging a pond in the commune on February 28.

The villagers then took them home and reported the discovery to local police, who in turn invited specialists to inspect and conserve them as national cultural heritages, he said.
