The artefacts, dating back to the Iron Age, were looted from graves in Southeast Asia, and posted for sale on eBay through an Australian gallery.

An investigation by not-for-profit-group Heritage Watch and the Australian government determined the authenticity of the objects.

The federal government will return them to the Cambodian Ministry for Culture and Fine Arts.
