Ancient Nazi-looted religious cross returned
None
A priceless medieval religious cross stolen by the Nazis in Poland during World War Two was returned on Tuesday to the heirs of the rightful owners after it was found in a rubbish skip.
The enamelled cross, 18.7 inches high and 11.42 inches wide, originally from Limoges in France, was discovered in a container full of junk from a house clearance in the Austrian ski resort of Zell am See. Limoges is famed for its medieval enamels as well as for its 19th century porcelain. (Reuters)
