Ethiopia Steps Up Fight to Reclaim Looted Artifacts, Heritage Authority Says

The authority has already taken several significant steps to reclaim valuable treasures, its Director General Abebaw Ayalew told an Ethiopian news agency.

A list of looted artifacts has been submitted to UNESCO;
Teams are actively tracing items held by foreign institutions and private collectors;
Legal actions are halting auctions of Ethiopian relics abroad.

Thanks to this, Ethiopia was recently able to restore:

the mantle of Ras Desta Damtew;
