How never-seen-before Cambodian antique jewellery mysteriously surfaced in London?
FirstpostLondon: A large collection of Cambodian Angkorian crown jewellery, some dating back to the 7th century, was mysteriously found in London last summer, reports said. When he travelled to London last summer, Brad Gordon, the head of Cambodia’s investigating team, saw the jewellery for the first time on behalf of his country. Whoa, the crown jewels of ancient Cambodian civilisation were contained in four boxes in the trunk of the automobile, I just thought.” The recovered collection was discovered to contain 77 pieces of gold and jewel-encrusted jewellery, including crowns, belts, and earrings when it was completely unwrapped. Some of the jewellery had already been discovered; Douglas Latchford and Emma Bunker’s book Khmer Gold, which they co-authored in 2008, featured five pieces from the collection.
