Kârun Treasure is the name given to a collection of 363 valuable Lydian artifacts dating from the 7th century BC and originating from Uşak Province in western Turkey, which were the subject of a legal battle between Turkey and New York Metropolitan Museum of Art between 1987 and 1993. They were returned to Turkey in 1993 after the Museum admitted it had known the objects were stolen when they had purchased them.
