Egypt livid over bust
Print Edition
Egypt says it has asked Interpol to help track down a 3,000-year-old sculpture of the famed boy-pharaoh Tutankhamun after Christie鈥檚 auctioned it off last week despite its objections.
The Britain-based auction house sold the brown quartzite head depicting King Tut for 4.7 million pounds (US$5.9 million). Egypt鈥檚 National Committee for Antiquities Repatriation said in a statement late Monday that it hired a British law firm to file a suit against Christie鈥檚, saying it did not provide papers proving ownership. Christie鈥檚 has denied any wrongdoing. The committee also criticized British authorities for not supporting its claim to the sculpture.
