In 1859, when Prince Gkikas smuggled precious antiquities from the Principality of Samos to Moldavia & Wallachia, the islanders mobilized to get them back. And they did! #MMARe tries to shed light to this case. #InternationalDayAgainstIllicitTraffickinginCulturalProperty #MSCA #HistoryOfArchaeology
Excerpt from a meeting by the General Assembly of the Samians where they discussed the smuggling of antiquities from the island by Prince Gkikas. The original to be found at the Samos branch of the Greek General State Archives (20 [illegible month] 1859, 1α).

On this #InternationalArchaeologyDay (oops, it was yesterday), I glance at these Fayoum portraits and feel as if they are inviting us to tell their story from their Egyptian necropolis to the display case of the RISD Museum. #MMARe helps us understand such journeys from a legal viewpoint! #MSCA
Three Fayoum portraits on the foreground and a mummy case on the background from the collections of the RISD Museum in Providence, RI (USA).
