The U.S. Dept. of Homeland Security seized it from the Museum of the Bible last fall after determining that it had been illegally trafficked from Iraq; Hobby Lobby, which purchased the tablet for the Museum from Christie’s in 2014, is suing the auction house for fraud; Christie’s says that a unidentified dealer admitted to authorities after the fact that the tablet’s provenance documents were forged and may launch a suit of its own. – The New York Times
