Stolen mummy possibly discovered in exhibit

A 1,000-year-old Buddhist statue containing a mummified monk that was on display in Hungary may have been stolen from a village in China, the Fujian Administration of Cultural Heritage said on Sunday.

Investigators from the administration have gone to the village and acquired photos, genealogy records and other materials that could support the conclusion, Xinhua News Agency reported.

More evidence is being sought, and if confirmed, the Fujian administration will report this to the State Administration of Cultural Heritage for retrieval.
