The Toledo Museum of Art has partnered with the Ethiopian Heritage Authority to manage a collection of about 380 Ethiopian artworks spanning more than 500 years, with five pieces — two 15th-century religious manuscripts and three crosses — already identified for return to Ethiopia. New provenance research found the manuscripts were illegally removed from Ethiopia after 1970, and the over-20-year agreement pairs joint research, conservation, and long-term loans with phased repatriation of the collection, believed to be the largest of Ethiopian art previously held privately. Collector Robert McCarthy Jr. will donate about two-thirds of the works while the museum purchases the rest at independently appraised prices.
