Question:
A local museum has been offered a little Syrian figurine with a recent history tracing it back to London, but which comes from one specific site in Syria. The Director of the museum is not sure how to proceed with this possible donation, given that it comes from a known site in Syria but has no provenance prior to the early 1990s. In addressing this issue, the Director has asked for a history and explanation of the law in Australia that applies to cultural heritage that might have come out of a conflict zone. Provide the Director with a brief overview of the international and national law that applies to a case such as this.
