Lebanon recovers coffins after NY seizure
Culture Minister Ghassan Salame announced that Lebanon will recover a collection of lead coffins that were found in New York, following follow-up with American authorities and the FBI. The pieces contain artistic and technical decorations dating back to the workshops that produced lead coffins in the city of Tyre, and they are considered models similar to discoveries in a well-preserved Roman tomb in Dweir. Investigations confirm that these artifacts were smuggled out of Tyre through illegal excavations. Their loss represents a blow to Lebanese national heritage. Salame emphasized that the ministry will work to recover all items that have been unlawfully removed.
