He incorporates that any individual insisting that "taken" artefacts ought to be gone back to their countries of origin is actually "another instance of Western side quality signaling, a pretentious expression of meant ethical excellence." Seemingly, some galleries in the USA as well as Europe disagree, given the variety of recent returns, including a group of Benin Bronzes coming from the Stanley Museum of Craft in Iowa..
