India tells Oxford museum to hand over ‘stolen’ 15th-century bronze idol

A formal request for the restitution of the statue of Hindu saint Thirumangai Azhwar was made by the Indian High Commission in London last Friday.

The museum bought the artefact from Sotheby’s auction house in London in 1967. Also on rt.com Brexit lever
