Two 10th Century Sandstone Artifacts Seized in Siem Reap

by Chhorn Phearun | September 23, 2016

Forestry officials in Siem Reap province seized two 10th century sandstone sculptures after chasing a car for several kilometers over unpaved back roads, suspicious that it was carrying illegal timber, officials said.

Mom Bun Lim, chief of the Forestry Administration’s Banteay Srei division, said he attempted to pull over the 1993 Toyota Camry with Phnom Penh plates at about 8 p.m. because the vehicle looked heavy with wood.
