The Art Department visited the site. Villagers found a stucco Buddha statue. A newly carved Buddha statue was found in Ubon Ratchathani, Hourong Yai. It is not an antique.

On August 3, 2024, it was reported that the fan page Fine Arts Office No. 9, Ubon Ratchathani Posted the pictures and information of Mr. Thanaphat Jitsutthiphon, Director of the 9th Fine Arts Office of Ubon Ratchathani, Mr. Somdej Leemamanotham, Director of the Archaeological Team, and Ms. Chaowani Leklak, Director of the National Museum of Ubon Ratchathani.

Go to the area to survey and check if the villagers found a stucco Buddha statue. It seems that what was found is a stucco Buddha statue, 70 cm wide and 130 cm long, in Nong Saeng-Charoen Phatthana Village, Phon Ngam Subdistrict, Buntharik District, Ubon Ratchathani Province, Lang Yai Beach District.

By asking villagers in the area, I learned that Mr. Sakorn Phalathee is a sculptor who traveled around the area and carved many Buddha statues about 3 years ago. This is not an antique. This is a newly carved Buddha statue.
