Description
Nigeria's government hands over two bronze treasures looted during colonial times to a traditional ruler in Benin City during a formal ceremony attended by royal guests and traditional chiefs. A bronze cockerel and a king's bust returned from the United Kingdom were in public display at the palace of the king of Benin, whose ancestors reigned over the region when it was ransacked by British soldiers in 1897.
