Two ancient Chinese silk manuscripts, stolen in 1946, were returned in 2025 and now reside in Hunan Museum.
Two ancient Chinese silk manuscripts from the Warring States Period, unearthed in 1942 and smuggled to the U.S. in 1946, were repatriated in 2025 and officially transferred to the Hunan Museum in Changsha.
The second and third volumes of the Zidanku Silk Manuscripts, containing early records on astronomy, calendars, and divination, underwent a 14-day acclimatization period and are now stored in climate-controlled conditions.
High-resolution imaging revealed over 40 previously undetected characters, and researchers are developing non-invasive preservation methods, including microbial disinfection and holographic scanning, to protect the fragile silk.
The return marks a significant step in international cultural cooperation and artifact restitution.
