Twenty antiquities damaged during the civil war in Syria and restored by Czech specialists are on display at the National Museum in Prague. Among the works on display are three stone funerary portraits from the ancient site of Palmyra that were damaged by Islamic State jihadist fighters when they seized the UNESCO World Heritage city in 2015.
The exhibition features a gold-covered pin dating from 1600-1200 BC, bronze razors and a knife, as well as copper and bronze statuettes depicting ancient deities. The objects will return to Syria at the end of May.
