Abstract: 

On December 15, the Metropolitan Museum of Art announced it has begun the process to return 16 Khmer sculptures – 14 to Cambodia and two to Thailand.  The return will effectively remove from its collection all Angkorian sculptures works which the Met knows are linked with the dealer Douglass Latchford.
