The Netherlands has returned six Sri Lankan colonial-era artefacts which were taken by the Dutch from Sri Lanka after more than 200 years.
The six historical objects – the Lewke’s cannon, a Golden Kasthane, a Silver Kasthane, a Sinhalese Knife and two Guns – were returned today morning (29).
The Netherlands Embassy stated that these items will be on public display at the National Museum in Colombo from 5 December.
