By BEN SERRANO Correspondent BUTUAN City--A group of treasure hunters have claimed to have found what looked like a human skull with two horns near a cave in coastal town of Cagwait, Surigao del Sur. They however failed to show any evidence of their find. The same group was responsible in discovering a gold-plated bronze figurine of a female Hindu deity in this city recently. The treasure hunters led by 43-year old Christopher Angao met with local historian and antique collector Potenciano Malvar at the Balanghai Hotel here on Monday where they described the horned skull. “We dug up a grave at a private land near a cave, and we found the skull with two horns. It looked like Lucifer’s or whatever,” Angao said. Angao’s group claimed that the land owner did not allow them to bring the skull because their agreement was only artifacts. Malvar said the skull should be brought to the National Museum even as he called on officials of a museum here to send a group to Cagwait in order to validate the treasure hunters’ claims. Members of the group swore that they saw the horned skull but they failed to take photos. Malvar said he would bring the matter to the attention of the National Museum to investigate. “We want to know the authenticity of this. If true, then what these people found will be the first in the history,” Malvar said. Malvar said the same group delivered to him last month a second “Tara,” a bronze figurine of a female Hindu deity. The first was the 21-carat “Golden Tara” that was found along the muddy bank of Wawa River, a tributary of the Agusan River, in Esperanza, Agusan del Sur by a Manobo woman in 1917. The second Tara, about a nine-inch figurine, was found in a cave near Agusan River Barangay Tungao here last month, according to Malvar. Malvar said he believed that the bronze Tara is older than the Golden Tara which is now in the Chicago Field Museum.
