The Embassy of Peru in Switzerland recovered a textile belonging to the South American country's Cultural Heritage.

The item was voluntarily handed over by a Swiss citizen, representing her family, during a ceremony held at Peru's diplomatic mission residence.

During the event, Peru underscored the importance it places on decisions by Swiss citizens to voluntarily return cultural property, noting that such actions contribute to strengthening national identity and advancing the study of pre-Hispanic cultures.

This event took place on March 31.
