Cambodia’s culture minister is welcoming the return this week of 14
sculptures that had been looted from the country during a period of war and
unrest.

Art were made between the 9th and 14th centuries in the Angkorian period and
reflect the Hindu and Buddhist religious systems prevailing at that time.

homecoming (返家) of national treasures” followed several years of
negotiations between Cambodia’s art restitution team, U.S. federal
prosecutors in New York, investigators from the U.S. Dept of Homeland
