According to ANA, the statue is found to be in good condition. The size of the second discovery is smaller than the previous statue found on Wednesday.

Besides the turtle statue, there are more ancient objects which have been discovered such as crystal stones and metal tridents. Currently, the statues and objects are being kept for further assessment.
