The statue is 19 centimeters high and dates from the period between the 1st century BC and the 1st century AD. The object probably comes from the archaeological site of the ancient city of Cyrene in present-day Libya, the BAK announced on Tuesday.
The cultural object was found in 2013 during a customs inspection at a customs warehouse in Geneva, the report said. Because it was suspected that it came from a stolen dig, the object was seized during a criminal investigation in 2016.
It is a violation of the Federal Act on the International Transfer of Cultural Goods to import stolen or looted cultural goods into Switzerland or to store them in a customs warehouse, the press release said.
