Angkorian artefacts returned to Cambodia by Smithsonian
Smithsonian returns Angkorian artefacts
1 May 2018
The Smithsonian Institution has handed over more than 60 Angkorian-era pottery artefacts to the Kingdom, according to the Apsara Authority.
The pottery in question is believed to have been produced in today’s Buriram province in Thailand, according to Apsara’s Facebook post.
The Smithsonian Institution brought them back “in order to keep, preserve and study”.
Ear Darith, deputy director of Angkor International Center for Research and Documentation at Apsara, said in a statement that the pottery was brought from Buriram province to the United States in the 1970s by a Japanese and American couple, who “then handed them over to [the] Smithsonian Institution”.
The statement indicates that some items were well-preserved while others were broken. Intact items will be shown in exhibitions, with all of them up for study.

Never knew Angkorians had aircon.Maybe high electricity costs were the cause of the decline.

Re: Angkorian artefacts returned to Cambodia by Smithsonian
If they were believed to have been made in Buriram province Thailand why would they be returned to Cambodia I would have thought that they would be returned to the state of origin.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.
