An ancient gold coffin displayed at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art is going home to Egypt -- where it was stolen nearly a decade ago.
In February this year, the district attorney's office executed a search warrant and seized it from a Met Museum display. The museum cooperated with investigators after it was presented with evidence of the original theft. "Returning stolen cultural treasures to their countries of origin is at the core of our mission to stop the trafficking of stolen antiquities. I am honored to repatriate this extraordinary artifact back to the people of Egypt."
