Emory University’s Michael C. Carlos Museum is repatriating three antiquities to Greece, which were believed to have been looted from three different geographical areas of the country – Crete, Epirus, and Attica – and illegally exported abroad, ANA reports.
They include a Minoan larnax (coffin) decorated with fish, dating to the 14th century B.C., a statue portraying a young woman leaning on a tree trunk, dating to the 2nd century B.C. and believed to be from Epirus, and a statue of a seated figure, originating from the relief of an Attican funerary stele in the shape of a temple, dating from the third quarter of the 4th century B.C.
