A rare, ancient tablet that was sold to Hobby Lobby through an auction house under false pretenses has been seized by the Justice Department, prosecutors say.
Visitors tour the "History of the Bible" exhibit during a media preview of the Museum of the Bible in Washington on Nov. 14, 2017.The Justice Department announced Tuesday that it had seized a rare, ancient tablet that was sold to Hobby Lobby through an auction house under false pretenses.
The federal court argued that the tablet was brought into the U.S. illegally and therefore the Museum of the Bible, established by the owners of the Hobby Lobby stores, cannot get back the ancient clay tablet. After the first Gulf War in 1991, thousands of objects were looted, including many cuneiform tablets, from archeological sites in Iraq, prosecutors explained.
