Netherlands returns looted sculpture to Egypt
The Netherlands returned a 3,500-year-old sculpture to Egypt after the looted artifact resurfaced at a Dutch art fair in 2022. An investigation by Dutch police and the cultural heritage inspectorate confirmed in 2025 that the sculpture had been plundered and unlawfully removed from Egypt. Art dealer Sycomore Ancient Art, which had acquired the piece but had doubts about its provenance, voluntarily surrendered it following the inquiry.
