‘Crown jewels’ looted by British soldiers returned to Ghana on loan | BBC News


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 BBC can reveal.

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.
