Earlier this year, the Metropolitan Museum of Arts, RAD returned 16 ancient Egyptian artefacts from America. Now, Belgium has followed suit with two more stolen artefacts.<\/p>\n
The two items are an Old Kingdom (2686\u20132181 BC) wooden painted figurine of a man resting on a pedestal and a Late Period wooden Ushabti figure (664-332 BC).<\/p>\n
The exhibit’s owner was unable to provide the necessary documentation for the artefacts, thus they were seized and given to Egypt’s Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities’ Repatriation Antiquities Department (RAD).<\/p>\n
