It would be a sign of magnanimity if the US government was to return a long lost artifact to its land of origin, but it seems that this particular artifact is more likely a fake. It is becoming widely accepted that the silver rhyton is a forgery that dates back only to 1999. Forging faux ancient artifacts is big business, and these forgers have been ripping off collectors and museums for generations. This particular piece seems to fit that pattern.
