ZIMBABWE-HISTORY-HERITAGE

A sculpture of a bird carved from soapstone was temporarily moved from a museum at the same site to be placed back in its original position at the Great Zimbabwe monument near Masvingo on February 20, 2020. Six of the large carvings were stolen from the ruins of Great Zimbabwe, an imposing stone complex built between the 11th and 13th centuries and attributed to pre-colonial King Munhumutapa. The palatial enclosures are now a UNESCO world heritage site situated in the southeast of Zimbabwe, some 25 kilometres (16 miles) from the present day city of Masvingo. Almost all of the prized green-grey soapstone birds that were looted have now been returned to the country. (Photo by Jekesai NJIKIZANA / AFP) (Photo by JEKESAI NJIKIZANA/AFP via Getty Images)
