The discovery of a Golden Tara, an eight-inch tall image of a woman in pure gold at Maasin, Esperanza, in the early 1920's and a Molten Jar unearthed at Bahbah, Prosperidad in the early 1960's, marks the Agusan's Pre-Hispanic Cultural History which was greatly influenced by the Madjapahit Empire of India. The icon, a 21-karat gold figurine, is presently kept at the Gem Room of the Chicago Field Museum of National History, Chicago, USA. This Buddhist image, of the Sailendra Period during the Sri-Vijaya History (900-950 AD), is the earliest known image of Indian origin, depicting early Hindu-Philippine relations.
