I was thinking about the looting of FYROM today. I was wondering if the present New York proprietor of the archaic bronze Koreschnica krater had been in touch with the FYROM authorities. (Perhaps the present owner could offer to have it conserved and displayed back in FYROM.) And then there is a silver plaque, apparently from the same burial, and acquired by a major North American university museum.
