Lebanon's Ministry of Culture received on Wednesday three archaeological artifacts confiscated by Swiss authorities, the state-run National News Agency (NNA) reported.
The artifacts, which had been illegally removed from Lebanon, include
a blue glass bottle with raised decorations, a small headless statue of the goddess Aphrodite dating from the 2nd-3rd century BC, and a small bronze statue from the 2nd century BC.
The handover is part of the Ministry of Culture's efforts to protect Lebanon's cultural heritage and was coordinated with the Lebanese Embassy in Switzerland, according to the NNA.
The ministry reiterated its commitment to combating the illicit trafficking of cultural property and recovering looted artifacts.
