The legal action alleges negligence in handling the delicate pieces, which were shipped as unaccompanied baggage. The case highlights concerns over airline liability for fragile or expensive cargo sent without direct supervision. Details of the specific damages and the gallery’s evidence remain under review in court proceedings.
