Quote:-Nikolay Tarasov was about to throw the tiny figure back into the river, when he decided to take it to a local museum on a hunch. Experts say the pagan god was carved in the Bronze Age by the Okunev or Samus cultures of ancient Tisul.
-“I stopped and washed the thing in the river and realized it wasn't a stone of an unusual shape, as I thought earlier, but a statuette,” the man told the Siberian Times.
-Experts said it was made out of horn that has fossizlied.
-The man decided to donate the figure to his local museum free of charge—even though it may be worth more than its weight in gold, according to the Siberian Times.
“To sell it and make profit? What are you talking about?” asked Nikolay. “People should see it, and learn the history of their region. It was quite clearly precious for the museums of any country.”
