A priceless seventh-century bronze statue that is believed to have been looted 15 years ago is to be returned to Vietnam.

The two-metre tall statue which represents the Hindu Goddess Kali Durga was allegedly stolen in 2008 from a Unesco World Heritage Site in the Quang Nam province of Vietnam called My Son Sanctuary.
