Switzerland returns Egyptian mask

Egypt has succeeded in retrieving a golden mummy mask dating back to the Ptolemaic era (approximately 2000 years ago) from Switzerland, after it was unlawfully taken out of the country. The Egyptian Embassy in Bern handed over the mask to the Egyptian authorities as part of the cooperation between the two countries to protect cultural heritage and combat illegal trafficking of antiquities. This operation is part of Egypt's ongoing efforts to recover smuggled antiquities, especially with the opening of the Grand Egyptian Museum, which houses over 100,000 artifacts.
