Five hand-carved, 18th- and 19th-century human skulls have been returned to Indonesian officials at a New York ceremony.

The decorated skulls from the Dayak tribe raised suspicion when they arrived at a mail facility in Newark, N.J., last summer.

They had been shipped from Bali, Indonesia, with a declared value of less than $5. U.S. investigators determined the artifacts are actually worth $3,000 to $5,000 each.

Officials planned to ship them back immediately. The ceremony was held at the Indonesian Consulate.

The investigation into the origin of the skulls is continuing.
