How do you repatriate artefacts to a country that no longer exists?

Description

The return of ancient cultural artefacts to their places of origin seems straightforward on the surface but what happens when borders have shifted or a country no long exists?

These questions explore the complex realities of returning cultural heritage and how repatriation can become entangled with politics, power, and competing versions of history.
