Limerick museum considers return of artefact to Nigeria
This ivory and lead leopard’s head is an Edo ceremonial costume attachment from the royal court of Benin, now incorporated into the modern republic of Nigeria.
A museum in Limerick is establishing the process of returning a 'looted' sculpture to Nigeria, as a global discussion of restitution grows stronger.
Jill Cousins, CEO and director of the Hunt Museum, said that the museum is in the process of establishing what the steps are for the restitution of the artefact.
