The elegant gold and carnelian ornament was most likely stolen in 1976 from the Bintepeler region, an archaeological zone known for its preponderance of tumuli, or burial mounds. In the mid-1970s,the Manisa Museum oversaw excavations near the village of Kendirlik in response to alleged looting, eventually uncovering beads from the grounds that perfectly matched the jewelry piece in the MFA Boston’s collection.

Idaho's Senators, Representatives, and the State Historic Preservation Act have called on the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation to terminate its Section 106 consultation with the Bureau of Land Management concerning the Lava Ridge Wind Energy Project. The project will have adverse effects on the Japanese internment camp, Minidoka National Historic Site. “Unfortunately, the views of these stakeholders—Minidoka survivors, descendants, and allies, along with the vast majority of Idahoans—have been largely disregarded," the delegation wrote. "Maintaining the sanctity of Minidoka is not a matter that can be mitigated elsewhere."
