Prosecutors of the Lutsk District Prosecutor’s Office have found a historical monument – a carved stone slab of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries depicting two angels, the Prosecutor General’s Office reported on its telegram channel.
“The unique find will be transferred to the National Museum of History of Ukraine to conduct a study of its scientific, historical, cultural and artistic value,” the statement said.
Earlier, law enforcement officers rescued from illegal sale at an online auction a 12th- to 13th-century plate depicting the Holy Warrior, which is also a monument of the period of Kievan Rus.
Both artifacts were found as part of the investigation of criminal proceedings on the fact of misappropriation of found or other property that accidentally came into the possession of a person (Part 1 of Article 193 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).
The pre-trial investigation is being carried out by the Lutsk District Police Department of the Main National Police in Volyn region.
