Smithsonian的亚洲艺术国家博物馆将在研究证实三件铜雕塑在1956年至1959年期间被非法从泰米尔纳德邦寺庙移走后,将三件铜雕品归还印度。 The Smithsonian’s National Museum of Asian Art will return three bronze sculptures to India after research confirmed they were illegally removed from Tamil Nadu temples between 1956 and 1959. 艺术作品——Shiva Nataraja(c.990)、Somaskanda(12世纪)和Saint Sundar和Paravai(16世纪)——通过档案照片和记录与特定寺庙相连。 The artworks—Shiva Nataraja (c. 990), Somaskanda (12th century), and Saint Sundarar with Paravai (16th century)—were linked to specific temples through archival photos and records. Shiva Nataraja将继续长期贷款展出,另外两人将被遣返回国。 While the Shiva Nataraja will remain on long-term loan for exhibition, the other two will be repatriated. 这一决定遵循了博物馆的道德管理政策,以及全球为归还被掠夺的文化遗产而日益作出的努力。 The decision follows the museum’s ethical stewardship policy and growing global efforts to return looted cultural heritage.
