Ooops

A sculpture that was originally identified as a 3,200-year-old piece of art and installed in a museum’s garden in Van – before it was revealed that the object was created in 2006 – has been returned to Erciş district.

The sculpture is now on display in a park by the Van Lake shore, reported Anatolia News Agency. It turns out artist Malik Bulut made the sculpture in 2006 as a part of an international culture and art event held in Erciş. The sculpture was returned as a result of the applications by the municipality.
