He incorporates that anyone asserting that "stolen" artifacts must be come back to their native lands is "an additional example of Western side virtue signaling, an egotistic expression of expected moral prevalence." Seemingly, some galleries in the USA as well as Europe differ, offered the variety of recent returns, including a team of Benin Bronzes from the Stanley Gallery of Craft in Iowa..
