Sotheby’s Does the Right Thing Sotheby’s has cancelled the planned auction of a 16th century ivory mask from West Africa after online protesters and the Nigerian government complained that the precious artifact had been looted from the country by British troops, reports The Independent.  The mask, which has been exhibited only two times in 1947 and again in 1951, was taken by British forces in 1897.  It ended up in the hands of Lieutenant Colonel Sir Henry Galway, and was due to be sold by his decendants for as much as $7 million.
