Less than a week after the 3,000-year-old artefact was sold at Christie's auction house in London, Egypt's National Committee for Antiquities Repatriation (NCAR) asked Interpol to 'issue a circular to trace' it. It has been alleged the relic is missing paperwork - which means it may have been stolen from the Karnak Temple complex just north of Luxor in the 1970s. The 11-inch 'Boy King' statue was sold for £4,746,250 ($5,970,000 or €5,290,000) to an unknown buyer in early July. The NCAR - headed by Minister of Antiquities Khaled El-Enany - also called upon Britain to 'prohibit the export of the sold artefacts' until Egyptian authorities were shows the documents. 'The committee expresses its deep discontent of the unprofessional behaviour of the sale of Egyptian antiquities without providing the ownership documents and the evidences that prove its legal export from Egypt,' the NCAR said in a statement.
