Verified by Smithsonian experts as authentic artifacts of the erstwhile Ryukyu Kingdom, a dynasty that ruled in Okinawa from the 15th century to the 19th century as a tributary state of the Ming dynasty of China, the F.B.I. turned the items over to the U.S. Army Civil Affairs and Psychological Operations Command. Its cultural heritage specialists (chuyên gia di sản văn hóa) returned the precious pieces to Okinawa.
The cache of 22 artifacts from the 18th and 19th centuries includes two portraits (bức chân dung) of Ryukyu kings — the only two of as many as 100 painted that are known to have survived the war — “an incredible find,” he said.
The veteran, who was posted in Europe, found the artifacts near a dumpster, Colonel DeJesse said, and recognizing their value took them to his home in Massachusetts.
The government of Japan registered other missing Ryukyu Kingdom articles with the F.B.I.’s National Stolen Art File in 2001. They include black-and-white photos depicting a collection of significant Okinawan cultural patrimony (di sản văn hóa) that, according to Professor Seifman, “are in many cases all that survive of sites and objects lost or destroyed” in World War II.
Among the items registered were the scrolls found in the Massachusetts veteran’s attic.
