UK To Loan Back Ghana's Looted 'Crown Jewels'


By Ufuoma Orhurhu


The UK is sending some of Ghana's "crown jewels" back home, 150 years after looting them from the court of the Asante king.

 

A gold peace pipe is among 32 items returning under long-term loan deals. 

 

The Victoria & Albert Museum (V&A) is lending 17 pieces and 15 are from the British Museum.

 

Ghana's chief negotiator said he hoped for "a new sense of cultural co-operation" after generations of anger.
