The Dallas Museum of Art is expected to announce Monday that it will voluntarily return an ancient mosaic in its collection to the Republic of Turkey, after determining that the work -- which dates from 194 A.D. and shows Orpheus taming animals with his lyre -- was probably stolen from a Turkish archaeological site.
