After the giant cauldron was excavated on the construction site, many curious people flocked to see it. Some children and adults climbed onto the cauldron to play, while others took mobile phones to record videos and take pictures of the artifact.

The workers who first discovered the cauldron said that when they dug into the ground and encountered a hard object, they initially thought it was rock, but later discovered it was a giant cauldron.

After that, people informed the Department of Cultural Relics and local authorities about the discovery of the cauldron. Upon receiving the news, experts rushed to the scene. To avoid damaging the giant cauldron, workers were temporarily suspended from construction.

The experts then proceeded to measure the giant cauldron. It is 1.4 meters high, 3 meters wide and 35 centimeters thick, and can accommodate 20 adults at the same time. However, this cauldron is not too heavy, only 4 adults can move it.

According to cultural relics experts, the cauldron is believed to have a history of several hundred years. Experts surmise that this is most likely an artifact left over from ancient wars. Maybe this land used to have a military barracks and the cauldron was a large rice cooker to feed the troops.

Despite being buried in the ground and having such a long history, it is very well preserved, with no damage, only slight rust.

Experts say that the cauldron is so well preserved can be attributed to the material it was made of. What that material is needs to be examined more carefully and thoroughly.

Experts from the Bureau of Cultural Relics contacted Widodo, the owner of this land, and the businessman expressed his willingness to donate this cauldron to the Bureau to study and check its origin.
