Chinese Buddhist monks and archaeologists Saturday revealed what they believe to be a part of the skull of Sakyamuni, the founder of Buddhism, in east China's Jiangsu Province.
The object, taken out for the first time around 9 a.m. from a miniature gold coffin nestled inside a silver one, was part of Buddha's parietal bone, said Master Chuan Yin, head of the Buddhist Association of China.

A press conference on the finding is scheduled to be held by the association Saturday afternoon.
