The Munich auction house Gorny & Mosch (auction 202) is offering two Cycladic fragments that look as if they too are derived from the Keros haul (lots 7 and 8). Both come from the Waltz collection. If this is the case, will Gorny & Mosch be contacting the Greek Government to check that the objects have not been looted from this highly significant site in the southern Aegean? Would a German auction-house wish to be seen to be ignoring the claims of Greece over a cultural property claim at this moment in time?
The same Munich auction-house has been linked to the handling of recently-surfaced antiquities as part of Operation Ghelas.

Thank you for the information. I retweeted it to my followers, some of which are Greek journalists. Would you give us a follow up?
