AbstractIt was early in World War II and the legendary Amber Room, looted from a Russian palace, was being shipped to German territory. When the convoy came under fire, a German soldier took advantage of the confusion to purloin a piece for himself. Now the gold-framed mosaic of marble and semiprecious stones may be the only part of the 18th century treasure to have survived. German officials this week confiscated the mosaic, depicting two couples lounging in a garde.
