September 27, 2023, 9:45 AMThe British Museumhas issued a plea to the public to assist in the recovery of ancient artifacts reported stolen or missing from its collection.
Sixty items have been returned thus far, the museum said in a statement sent to ABC News. Three-hundred more are "due to be returned imminently." Hellenistic plasma intaglio, engraved with a young warrior seated on a rock, 323-31 BC is one of the items that is missing from The British Museum."The trustees of the British Museum were extremely concerned when we learnt earlier this year that items of the collection had been stolen," Osborne said in a statement.
The museum also announced that some of the items had been placed on the Art Loss Register -- the world's largest private database of stolen art, antiques and collectables. "This will ensure that if the stolen pieces appear in the over 400,000 items a year that are checked by them, they will be identified," the museum said.
