Mummified Buddha shown in Hungarian stolen from China: government

File photo taken on March 3, 2015 shows the Chinese character "Fo", or "Buddha", on the Chinese Buddha statue at the Hungarian Natural History Museum in Budapest, Hungary. A Buddha statue that conceals the mummified remains of an ancient monk was withdrawn from the Hungarian Natural History Museum by its Dutch owner in Budapest on Friday. Villagers living in Yangchun, a village in China's southeastern province of Fujian, claimed that this statue was the one stolen from their village's temple in 1995, Chinese media reported recently.
