    The U.S. Department of State has decided that an object being temporarily imported for display in the exhibition “The Ivory Comb: Lice and Literacy at Lachish” at the Lynn H. Wood Archaeological Museum in Tennessee is culturally significant. This exhibition, and any potential future venues, serve the national interest by showcasing this important piece. The decision was made under the authority given by various U.S. laws and orders. Nicole L. Elkon, the Deputy Assistant Secretary at the State Department, formally announced this decision.

    Simple Explanation

    The U.S. government is bringing a special old comb from another country to show in a museum in Tennessee because it's important for learning about history. It might be shown in more places later, even though they haven't decided where yet.
