The Smithsonian’s National Museum of Asian Art announced today that it will return three bronze sculptures to India, continuing a recent series of restitutions that last month included Khmer-period works returned to Cambodia. 990), “Somaskanda” (12th century), and “Saint Sundarar with Paravai”—were sacred objects originally carried in temple processions before they were stolen. According to the museum’s provenance research, the works were linked to art dealers known to have trafficked looted antiquities. “The National Museum of Asian Art is committed to stewarding cultural heritage responsibly and advancing transparency in our collection,” said Chase F. Robinson, the museum’s director. As in the case of the Indian restitutions, each Cambodian sculpture was linked to art dealers now known to have trafficked in looted antiquities.
