UVA Museum 6th Century BC Italian Art Scandal

Problems for the University of Art Museum...

Two marble heads, three feet and three hands - called acroliths from the 6th century BC were apparently anonymously donated to the University with the condition "they not be publicized nor the identity of the donor revealed."

Now Sicily is saying they were illegally excavated in the late 1970s from Morgantina, an ancient Greek settlement in Sicily.

The heads are thought to be the goddesses Demeter and Persephone.

No one is sure if the acroliths are going back to Sicily as of Oct, 2007.
