Three sculptures, believed to be from the 12th century, have been found in a tribal-dominated village in Palghar, a district official said on Monday. Some residents of Jamsar village in Jawhar taluka were desilting a lake last week when they found the artefacts, said Tehsildar Santosh Shinde.

The sculptures include inscribed images of war heroes and a five headed cow with a calf, said Shinde. "We will inform the Archaeological Survey of India to get more information," he said.
