PATHUM THANI: The country s oldest partially fossilised Bryde s whale skeleton is expected to be returned to its home in Samut Sakhon within 12 months after the painstaking task of putting it back together is completed.
The Department of Mineral Resources says the traditional practice of returning the skeleton to its original place is being done in accordance with specific law.
The department and its partners the Department of Marine and Coastal Resources, the Department of Fine Arts and a team of university academics have been gathering pieces of the 12.5-metre long skeleton, which is believed to date back 6,000 years, after finding them last month in tambon Amphang, Ban Phaeo district.
Commemorative art works on a symbolic journey to Afadzato
Two Iconic art pieces are making a 200-kilometre journey on foot to Afadzato to mark the beginning of a four-day Africa transformational leadership event. The works are a portrait of Winnie Mandela made by Isaac Ayertey entirely of clothes buttons, and the other a detailed depiction of Afua Nyarkoa, produced with beads by Florence Sottie, a Ghanaian lady from Anomabo, and which was adjudged best entry for the project. About 60 volunteers, in turns, are conveying the works on foot across the terrain to the Afadzato (Mountain), which is referred to as the Akwapim-Togo mountain, lying along the Ghana-Togo border, and among the highest in Africa.
