A Roman head is voluntarily returned to Libya by an Italian Collector
When the Roman head was offered at auction by Christie's, an archeologist warned the auction house that it was stolen from Libya. After the sale, Christie's obtained additional information about the head and decided to cancel the sale. With the assistance of the auction house, the head was ultimately returned to Libya by the buyer, an italian collector, who was reimbused by Christie's.
