Oxford University's Ashmolean Museum will return a 500-year-old stolen bronze idol of Indian saint Tirumankai Alvar to India, following a claim by the Indian High Commission.
The statue was acquired by the museum in 1967 and believed to have been stolen from a temple in Tamil Nadu.

This decision will be submitted to the Charity Commission for approval.
