via Khmer Times, 28 July 2020: Artefacts discovered earlier this year in Srah Srang are now on display at the Preah Norodom Sihanouk-Angkor Museum.
In April this year, Apsara Authority archeologists discovered a pair of sandstone turtles and other artifacts buried at Kandal Srah Srang temple in Siem Reap province. Besides the turtles, the antiques found included crystal stones and two metal tridents – one of which was intact while the other was broken.
“The turtle sculptures and artifacts are now on display at the Preah Norodom Sihanouk-Angkor Museum as they are a Cambodian national treasure,” said Mao Sokny, project manager of Kandal Temple restoration project.
Sokny added they buried replicas of the turtle sculptures at the Kandal Srah Srang temple in accordance with traditional beliefs.
