Ghana Ashanti King Receives Looted Artefacts From U.S. Museum

The materials were returned in the wake of growing pressure for European and U.S. museums and institutions to restore African artefacts stolen during the rule of former colonial powers. Seven royal artefacts were returned by a museum in California on Thursday to Ghana's traditional Ashanti king in commemoration of his silver jubilee.
