One of the most precious pieces of art stolen from Iraq’s National Museum – a 5000-year-old sculpture – has been recovered. “The 20-centimetre high marble sculpture, dating from 3000 BC, depicts the head of a woman. It was fashioned in the southern city of Warka during the Sumerian period, and was among the five most precious pieces still missing since the museum was sacked after the April 9 fall of Saddam Hussein.”
