Items Seized At Florida Airport Return Home - Miami

Customs and Border Protection Officer Juan Esteves holds a terra cotta animal head at a Thursday, September 14, 2023 ceremony in Miami, FL, USA. This is one of three artifacts the U.S. is repatriating to Costa Rica. Six years ago, Juan Esteves found something he never expected during a security screening at Orlando International Airport. Wrapped and tucked inside a pair of shoes were three pieces of stone art. One of the carved clay rocks was a bowl. The two others appeared to be animals. Experts later determined that those artifacts Esteves flagged belonged to the Kingdom of Nicoya, an ancient indigenous nation in modern-day Costa Rica. Now, the artifacts will be returning home, placed under the care of the country’s national museum in San Jose. Photo by Jose A. Iglesias/Miami Herald/TNS/ABACAPRESS.COM
