Right of Return: Cham trio
On Friday 28 July 2023, the National Gallery repatriated three bronze sculptures to the Kingdom of Cambodia.
The works of art repatriated are Avalokiteshvara Padmapani, Vajrapani and Avalokiteshvara Padmapani. This repatriation is the result of a decades-long and highly valued collaboration between the National Gallery and the Ministry of Culture and Fine Arts in Cambodia.
Following consultations with the Kingdom of Cambodia, the sculptures are now on display at the National Gallery, where they will remain for up to three years while the Cambodian Government prepares their new home in the kingdom's capital.
