A formal request has been received by Glasgow Life from Nigeria for the return of cultural artefacts held in the city's museums.
The request concerns a total of eight bronze objects within the city's civic collection which have been identified to the sacking of Benin City by the British Army in 1897.
It follows the formation of the Benin Dialogue Group, a consortium of major national cultural institutions in the UK and Europe which was formed in an attempt to end the decades of wrangling over the estimated 4,000 bronze and ivory artefacts looted in 1897.
