'Crown jewels' looted by British soldiers returned to Ghana on loan | BBC News
The UK is sending some of Ghana’s “crown jewels” back home, 150 years after looting them from the court of the Asante king.
A gold peace pipe is among 32 items returning under long-term loan deals, the BBC can reveal.
The Victoria & Albert Museum (V&A) is lending 17 pieces and 15 are from the British Museum.

They should rather return it and pay them for stealing from them.
You call this one a wise king Tsw?
Do you think his father or grandfather would’ve entertained such rubbish proposal. Much more accept it..
Rubbish
Why will they loan it?
Make it make sense.
You steal from me, and later lends it to me. What rubbish is that.
The Asantehene sef ano dey barb am.
Did he think about it?
Nonsense!!!
Is he even a chief or a king?
The existence of a certain people is a earthly insult.
Very Funny
* saved crown jewels
Racist people can now see they need us more than we need them
The question is the artifact solely belong to Ashantes kingdom or families and other tribes like the Fantes and the Denkyiras
For the holocaust items, they changed the laws. Nyansap)!
Returning them on loan? How do you return a looted item on loan
Britain should keep these items instead of returning it because it's of no use. The black man will still sell it. This African kings can't be trusted. I plead with the British government to keep it.
The ashanti were known for looting gold from other African tribes. these gold were probably stolen by the ashanti people. They were one of the biggest slave producers. I don't feel sorry for them.
What the jail is this?
These gold pieces are the Ashanti people
If is me, I was not sending it back….
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂on loan wtfk does that mean….afrika was doomed by a rude devil…
The person talking on our behalf do not have sense trust me. How Can the woman ask you if the stolen item being given to us be a problem and you say not really that at least it will come home . What a man. We needed Sam George to be rather interviews on this topic
At least from the perspective of it being returned home first is cool, then after I know it will stay for good.
British has done a lot of wicked and inhumane things to Ghanaian people. How can stolen articles be loaned back to the rightful owner? Make laws to keep your items with all the strength you can marshall.
Those are metal, how have they been able to manage the amount of wealth from those days up to now which they still have in their possession.
Am speechless…..
It is still happening today sadly with our natural resources
This woman speaking for Ghana is obviously not Ghanaian but a colonised pauppette. She doesn’t even know our culture shm😢
Hope the items NEVER get back to the UK
How what an insult, who were the brokers
AS A GHANAIAN WATCHING THIS , I AM LIVID TO THE IDEA OF THIS LOAN CONDITIONS , THESE ARTIFATS WERE STOLEN FROM US just give them BACK without any goddamn conditions…..
Let’s hope the Ghanaians looks after them as well as we did
