Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

A Libyan citizen has returned the head of a marble statue from the Greek era to the Cyrene Antiquities Office, in Libya’s eastern region.

The Libyan authorities praised Mohammed Abdullah Bouajaba for his “dedication to his heritage and his country.”

This act follows a similar incident in 2019 when another citizen handed over an artefact to the Tourism Police and Antiquities Protection Agency in Shahat, eastern Libya.

At that time, Fawzi Abdulonis, the head of the agency’s branches in eastern Libya, stated that Miloud Issa and his son Al-Jali discovered the artefact, which was a statue head of the Greek goddess Demeter, during a walk. They promptly delivered it to the agency’s office.

Abdulonis confirmed the receipt of the artefact through an official report signed by the citizen and the agency’s management, with the presence of the Cyrene Antiquities Office.

He extended gratitude and appreciation to Issa and his son for their commitment to preserving Libya’s heritage from theft, looting, and smuggling.
