Oxford to Return Stolen 500-Yr-Old Statue to India

Oxford University’s Ashmolean Museum has agreed to return a 500-year-old bronze statue of Hindu saint Tirumankai Alvar to India. The 60cm-tall sculpture, believed to have been stolen from a Tamil Nadu temple, was acquired by the museum in 1967. After an independent researcher alerted the museum, a formal request from India led to the decision to repatriate the stolen artefact.
