This is a visual reminder of the major looting of Cycladic cemeteries especially since the Second World War. Only a tiny percentage of the figures in the corpus have secure archaeological contexts.
It is significant that Greece is once again seeking to repatriate material.
Will the Michael C. Carlos Museum at Emory University be responding to requests to return their three items identified from the seized photographic archives?

Do you know if the Italian Polizzi are investigating the 1824 inscribed wine jar or askos looted from a tomb near Centuripe, Sicily, sent by Giuseppe Polizzi to Barone Pietoro Pisano Palermo, bought by the Grand Duke of Baden in 1937/8, last seen among the Classic Antiquities at the Palace Museum in Karlsrhue around 1980?
