JAKARTA - A man was detained by police on Saturday last week after breaking the backline of Vietnam's ancient throne which was recognized as 'national property,' Vietnamese state media reported.
The throne comes from the Nguyen Dynasty, Vietnam's last royal dynasty, which lasted from 1802 to 1945.
The Nguyen dynasty established Hue City, in the center of the country, as the capital of Vietnam while in power, according to UNESCO. The city's monuments, which include several royal palaces, ritual sites, and tombs, have been declared UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
The broken throne on Saturday is located inside Thryptani H Wayha Hue Palace, the city's "most important building", where the emperors hold courts and royal ceremonies are held, according to Vietnam News.
Shortly after 12 p.m., on Saturday (1 a.m. ET), a man who showed "signs of severe sleep" entered a restricted area of ropes on the palace and climbed into the palace, citing CNN May 28 from Vietnam News.
He then "snatched unclear" and broke the back of the left hand of the ceremonial chair," the state news website said.
A photo uploaded by Nhmen Dmen showed a hand-backing section featuring the dragon's head lying on the floor. Two other pieces of hand-resistance lay beside him.

Security measures were tightened across the monument complex, "with emphasis on the protection of artifacts and national property," the state news website added.
