Germany Returns Centuries-Old Indigenous Masks to Colombia

Germany returned two masks made by the Indigenous Kogi people to Colombia
The masks were in a Berlin museum's collection for over a century
The decision to restitute them follows several years of contacts between Berlin's museum authority and Colombia
The masks were acquired in 1915 by the curator of the forerunner of today's Ethnological Museum in Berlin
The restitution is part of a rethink of how European countries deal with their colonial past
