ICE HSI repatriates pre-Columbian bowl to Belize
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) sent this bulletin at 09/15/2011 09:00 AM EDT
Belize's
history is rich. Nearly 75 attendees gathered at the Embassy of Belize
this past weekend to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the country's
independence from England. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement
(ICE) added to the celebration by returning a piece of history – a
pre-Columbian feasting bowl, common to northern Belize – to the Belizean
government.
The z-angle pre-Columbian feasting
bowl was created by Mayan Indians. It is nearly 1800 years old, dating
back to 200 to 600 AD and was likely looted from a grave.
"Artifacts like this represent the
people of Belize and the region's ancient cultural history," said Carlos
Maza, deputy assistant director for ICE's Homeland Security
Investigations' (HSI) Office of International Affairs. "The bowl is
precisely the type of treasure that ICE's Cultural Property Art and
Antiquities Program was established to identify, investigate and return
to its rightful owners."
