(GREEK NEWS AGENDA) Culture Minister Mihalis Liapis on Monday officially presented an ancient funerary urn (“lekythos”) – dating from the 4th century B.C. – at the National Archaeological Museum. The vase had been found in the possession of a Swiss art dealer last year after being illegally exported. The procedure to repatriate the ancient vase was completed last Thursday and in a few days, it will be taken to the museum’s conservation workshops for two months.
