After their return to the National Museum in Lagos, they re-entered the art market and ended up in the hands of a private investor who donated them to the Met in 1991, where they were exhibited for years. The bulk of the artefacts, which include brass and bronze sculptures as well as ivory carvings and number in the thousands, currently reside in European institutions, some of which have launched efforts in recent years to facilitate their restitution.
