Recent calls have come for Britain to return artifacts looted during its colonial era. A Jamaican government minister has demanded that the British Museum repatriate objects in its collection taken when the island was a British colony.

Other nations, including Greece and Ethiopia, have made similar claims. The issue of repatriating ill-gotten objects is a pressing matter in the museum world.

For its part, the British Museum has said it has not received any official communication from the ministry of culture in Jamaica.
