Quang Nam (VNA) - Archaeologists have discovered several valuable antiques and sculptures at a site of Cham towers in central Quang Nam province.

According to the scientists, who work at the province's Relic Preservation Centre, the artefacts, including three sandstone sculptures and several reliefs which used to decorate the bottom part of the towers, date back to the 9th century.

The centre director, Tran Anh, said his team will continue the excavation on an area of 4,300 sq. m around the Khuong My tower group in the next three months.

The Khuong My tower group, which includes three towers, is going to be restored with an investment capital of 8 billion VND from the State budget.

KHUONG MY TOWERS




   Khuong My in Tam Xuan I District is located near the National Highway No.1 and 2 km away from Tam Ky to the southwest. Khuong My Towers is a group of three towers in line from the north to the south. Their specific architecture reflects a traditional Champa style with three levels, the upper level representing the stereotype of the lower one with a sandstone top.
   Khuong My Towers show the first style of Champa architecture influenced by the Khome design (curled and deep carved leaves and lozenges representing diagonal and stylish flowers). This is the specific design of Khome art dated from the 9th and 10th centuries.

   Here, archaeologists had found many original sculptures (at present are displayed at Da Nang Cham Museum) and many jars of hundreds years old.
