The United States has returned several Peruvian antiquities, including the intricate knotwork artifacts known as khipus, in a ceremony at the Los Angeles consulate.
CLARIFIES THAT REPATRIATION OCCURRED FRIDAY AND NOT TUESDAY - Claudia Bastante, Peruvian Deputy-Counsel in Los Angeles and professional archaeologist, smiles as she looks at khipus, part of the recovered Peruvian cultural property in Los Angeles, Friday, April 21, 2023. The U.S. repatriated several Peruvian antiquities Friday to the country's Los Angeles consulate.
The brief event came amid a push in recent years to have museums, universities and governments worldwide return cultural pieces to their home countries and tribal nations. Indigenous and African communities, in particular, have pressed institutions to reckon with their colonialist pasts and repatriate stolen or looted antiquities.
