Dutch Colonial Artifacts Return To Colombo, Sri Lanka
School children are visiting to look at a silver kastane, a Sinhalese dagger, during a public exhibition at the National Museum in Colombo, Sri Lanka, which was returned by the Netherlands, in Colombo, Sri Lanka, on December 6, 2023. The Dutch government last Monday returned six cultural artifacts to Sri Lanka that had been plundered from the ancient Kandyan kingdom in 1765 by Dutch colonialists, who belonged to the Kandy royal family. Among the items are Lewke's cannon, two gold kastanes (ceremonial swords), a silver kastane, a Sinhalese dagger, and two firearms. (Photo by Akila Jayawardena/NurPhoto)
