The U.S. government welcomes the return of two 11th century stone lintels to Thailand, marking the end of a four-year effort on behalf of the United States and Thailand to bring these items home.

The National Museum in Bangkok has unveiled two 1,000-year-old art treasures returned to Thailand after being stolen and smuggled abroad in the 1960s. The ancient lintels looted from Thai temples were welcomed back home in a ceremony arranged by the Culture Ministry on Monday.
