The National Gallery of Australia in Canberra will hand back another 14 Indian antiquities linked to a disgraced international dealer as part of a campaign to remove looted items from its Asian art collection.

Director Nick Mitzevich said 13 objects bought from notorious New York dealer Subhash Kapoor would be handed back to the Indian government, along with one acquired from dealer William Wolff in 1989.
