Boston Museum Returns Looted 2,700-Year-Old Necklace to Turkey

An ancient gold and carnelian necklace looted nearly half a century ago is finally returning to its rightful home.

The artifact dates to between 550 and 450 B.C.E., and it had been on display at the Museum of Fine Arts (MFA) in Boston for decades. This month, the museum pledged to give up the necklace, which was probably stolen from a Turkish archaeological site in 1976.
