Christie's Return Ancient Statue To Home In Cambodia

PHNOM PENH, CAMBODIA - JUNE 03: Sok An, Deputy Prime Minister of Cambodia, and Walter Timoshuk, President of the Norton Simon Museum, pose for a photograph during a handover ceremony at the Council of Ministers on June 3, 2014 in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. The Bhima statue is unveiled during an official ceremony at the Council of Ministers in Cambodia. It is one of several statues looted from the Koh Ker temple complex in Cambodia in the 1970s, ending up in private collections and in museums in the United States, which represent key figures from the Mahabharata, a Sanskrit epic describing a wrestling match between ancient warriors. The Norton Simon Museum announced on May 3rd that it would repatriate the Bhima statue, which it acquired from a New York art dealer in 1976, to Cambodia. The Bhima statue is joined by two other statues from the Prasat Chen temple also recently returned to Cambodia: the Duryodhana and the Balarama, which are being returned by auction houses Sotheby's and Christie's.
