The National Gallery of Australia (NGA) handed over in Canberra two Chinese cultural relics dating back to some 1,000 years ago to China's National Cultural Heritage Administration on Wednesday. 

The two relics are the head of a military officer statue stolen from the Yongyu Imperial Mausoleum of ancient China's Northern Song Dynasty (960-1127) and the head of a civil official statue stolen from the Yongchang Imperial Mausoleem of the same dynasty.

According to the NGA, both relics are made of limestone and originated from central China's Henan Province. 

The restitution followed a tip-off received by China's National Cultural Heritage Administration, which collaborated with the Ministry of Public Security and local Henan authorities to collect evidence before initiating formal recovery efforts in 2025.

The repatriation was executed within the framework of the 1970 UNESCO Convention, a 2009 bilateral memorandum of understanding on cultural heritage protection, and the NGA's own provenance and due diligence policies established in 2021.

　国家文物局はオーストラリア国立美術館で10月28日午後、同国側から返還された流失文化財2点を受領した。

　これらは、北宋（960～1127年）皇帝陵である永昌陵の文官像の頭部と、永裕陵の武官像の頭部だ。

　永昌陵と永裕陵は河南省鞏義市に位置し、ここには国内最大規模で比較的良好な保存状態にある北宋の皇帝陵石刻群が残されており、人物像、瑞獣（伝説上の霊獣）など造形が豊かで、精巧に彫刻された石像がある。

　今回返還された文官・武官像の頭部は、宋代石刻芸術の代表的な遺物とされる。
