FILE - In this April 4, 2014 file photo a spiraling torque from the second century A.D., is displayed as part of the exhibit called The Crimea - Gold and Secrets of the Black Sea, at Allard Pierson historical museum in Amsterdam. The museum says it sees no choice but to hold on to a number of highly valuable objects it borrowed from Ukranian museums for the time being, because it is unable to reconcile competing claims from museum. The museum borrowed the items from the museums before Russia annexed the Crimea, and it says returning them now to one side or the other would lead to legal claims. (AP Photo/Peter Dejong, File)
