A 2,400-year-old funerary urn has been returned to Greece and put on
display, part of a campaign to reclaim illegally exported antiquities from
museums and art dealers around the world.
The marble urn was displayed Monday at the National Archaeological Museum in
Athens.
.
The marble urn, believed to have originated from near Athens, depicts two
women in a banquet scene. The vessel was first located at an international
arts fair in Maastrict, The Netherlands, last year, and traced to a Swiss
dealer, the Greek Culture Ministry said.
