Lost and found

, September 2, 2014

An archaeological piece is displayed at an exhibition at a media preview at the Foreign Ministry building in Bogota on September 1. Spain on June 24 returned to Colombia 691 archaeological pieces including 3,000-year-old ceramics that were seized in 2003 in a drug-trafficking and money-laundering case. The pieces - including busts, statues and stone jewellery - were repatriated and turned over to the Colombian government's archaeological authorities. Several key pieces were exhibited at the event on Monday in Bogota.  Reuters/Jose Miguel Gomez
