November 02 Return of amulet puts pressure on British Museum The Independent 2 November 2002 A sacred amulet is due to be returned to Ethiopia today, 135 years after a British soldier ripped it from the neck of the country's Emperor during a battle. An anonymous British man has agreed to hand over the artefact which was taken at the battle of Magdala in 1868. The return will step up pressure on the British Museum and other institutions which still hold hundreds of illuminated manuscripts, crowns and religious objects seized at the same time. |
