Australia returned three looted Mexican artefacts to Mexico in 2023 after intercepting them during an illegal import attempt.
Australia has returned three ancient artefacts looted from Mexico—Olmec ear-shaped plaques, an Aztec ceramic whistle, and a Zacatecas funerary bowl—to the Mexican government after they were intercepted in 2023 during an attempted import into Australia.
The items, purchased online by two Australians from a U.S. gallery, were illegally exported from Mexico.
The formal handover occurred at the Mexican embassy in Canberra, where Special Envoy for the Arts Susan Templeman emphasized Australia’s commitment to combating the illicit trade of cultural property and supporting international heritage protection efforts.
