New York philanthropist and art collector Shelby White has agreed to return two antiquities from her private collection to Greece.
The section of a tomb stele, dating to the early 4th century BC, and the bronze calyx wine bowl from 340 BC will be returned this month, the Greek Culture Ministry said Friday. The items were illegally excavated and removed from Greece and acquired by White in good faith, the ministry said.
The stele section will be reunited with the lower section of the item that was discovered during excavations in the 1960s.
