Switzerland returns 2000-year-old Egyptian mask
The Swiss Union has returned an ancient funerary mask from the Ptolemaic era to Egypt. The mask dates back to the 2nd century BC and was confiscated in Switzerland in 2022, with its authenticity verified by specialized experts. The process of recovering the mask is part of a long-standing cooperation between the two countries. Since 2011, Switzerland has returned approximately 80 archaeological artifacts to Egypt as part of joint efforts to combat the illegal trafficking of cultural property and to safeguard human heritage. This return is highly significant as it helps preserve historical memory and provides valuable opportunities for study and research, while also emphasizing the importance of international collaboration to achieve sustainable protection of antiquities.
