At the same time, I am very sad because we don’t know how to properly handle these relics. In Ethiopia we don’t have trained art conservators to preserve and restore historic and artistic paper and parchment. Just take a look at the photo on how the person is holding the book without any glove and without any support from the backside. From this picture alone I can imagine how they treat it. Is it just good to return it to Ethiopia without having proper conservators to preserve and restore historic and artistic works?

Thank you

They did it to Egypt, they did it to Nigeria, Benin and many other countries. Who do they think they are to hold property of other countries? I swear sometimes it (infuriates) me.
