Dear Sir/Madam,
Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention.
We have removed the skulls from our auction and have informed the consignor about the sensitive issues surrounding them. We have also forwarded your email correspondence to the consignor so they have your contact details. We will do our utmost to appeal to the owner to return the skulls to their rightful spiritual home.
With kind regards,
