A New York museum is to repatriate to Egypt 19 items found in King Tutankhamen tomb, officials said.
The 19 artefacts, including a tiny bronze dog and a sphinx bracelet jewel, were discovered in the collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Under the terms of the British-led excavation, the tomb's contents were not to leave Egypt's possession, the museum said on Wednesday.
The boy king's tomb was discovered in 1922 by Howard Carter.
