As part of its ongoing commitment to responsible collection stewardship, The Metropolitan Museum of Art announced today the return of objects to the Republic of Italy: a Bronze relief from the late 6th century BCE; a marble fish plate, ca. 400 BCE; two marble dishes from the 4th century BCE; a Terracotta psykter-column-krater; and a group of small bronze fibulae and bracelets, from the 9th-6th century BCE.
The repatriation follows new information that emerged through the ongoing investigations of the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office, and the Museum’s own research, which helped determine the works should be returned to Italy.
