Sayan Chomkamsingha, the 41-year-old owner of the house where the alleged Naga body was being enshrined, told police he found the object while he was fishing in a nearby pond three days ago. Sayan said the Naga's body was moving and slimy when he first encountered it, but turned into bronze the moment it touched the air.
Police arrived at Sayan’s house today to take the figurine to a local office of the Department of Fine Arts, where officials would determine whether it was an archaeological object and therefore a national treasure.
