In Greece, ancient sculptures back

As reported by the Greek Ministry of Culture in Greece from the Museum of Los Angeles had been returned antique sculptures, removed illegally decades ago.

One of the items returned by a marble stele with carved text. The text is a calendar of sacrifices to the gods of antiquity, and celebrations of ancient Greece. According to historians, the stele is dated about 430 BC.

Exported artifacts are fragments of grave relief, discovered in 1975, and later identified as three parts of one whole. The third part of the exhibition is located in the Museum of Athens. The whole sculpture depicts a lady standing in front of her and her maid, who props up his hand cheek. The exhibition dates from the fifth century BC, and soon all three parts will be re- united in a Greek museum.

All exhibits are returned to Athens by a contract of cooperation between Greece and the Getty Museum. During the negotiations, Greece promised to spend at the museum in Los Angeles antique show with the participation of Greek artifacts.
