The great box and its child: What happens when museum objects go home?

Abstract:
One of the real questions that all museum ethnographers have is: what happens if an important heritage item is restored in some way to a community of origin? There is often a great deal of tension around the repatriation process itself, and our attention is drawn to repatriation processes, but what happens afterwards, to the object, and to relationships around it?
