Egypt retrieves 2nd-century BC gold mask from Switzerland

Egypt recovered a gold mummy mask from the Ptolemaic era that is over two thousand years old from Switzerland, after it was unlawfully exported. Swiss authorities seized it in 2022, and experts confirmed its Egyptian origin. It was handed over to Egypt through the Egyptian embassy in Bern. This effort aims to protect Egyptian cultural heritage from smuggling and illegal trading. This step is part of Egypt’s extensive repatriation operations ongoing since 2011, during which approximately 30,000 archaeological pieces have been reclaimed.
