Foreign Policy: Nepal’s Stolen Gods Seek New Homes
In the spring of 1999, a window decoration went missing from a Buddhist monastery in Nepal. Years later, the artifact was bought by a museum in the United States. After two decades, the artifact has been returned to Nepal, along with other stolen objects, as part of efforts to restore looted antiquities. However, the process of repatriation is complicated and not all communities are willing to take back the stolen idols. Nepal has seen a renewed interest in repatriation due to citizen-led campaigns and increased public awareness. Conservationists face challenges in documenting stolen artifacts and there is a lack of proper inventory. The Rubin Museum, which returned some artifacts to Nepal, has been criticized for its involvement in the repatriation process. Citizen-led initiatives such as the Nepal Heritage Recovery Campaign and the Lost Arts of Nepal have helped locate stolen artifacts and stop auctions abroad.
