The British Museum has asked the public to help it identify and recover items believed to have been stolen from its collection, as it announced it had already retrieved 60 missing items and identified a further 300.
The museum said the majority of the missing items were from its gems and jewellery collection, including gold rings, earrings, bracelets and necklaces, and were mostly from Greece and Rome. It has provided images it says shows items similar to those are missing in the hope that people will recognise them.
