Museum to return Homer vase
The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York is to return a 2,500-year-old
vase by Euphronios, the great Greek painter, to Italy. The decision to
return the 6th-century BC terracotta vase, one of 20 artefacts to be
repatriated to Italy, could set a global precedent for the return of stolen
antiquities. The vase, or krater, went missing from the Etruscan tombs at
Cerveteri, north of Rome, in 1971.
