Answer:

tooth

Explanation:

The object? A tooth that had once belonged to Patrice Lumumba, and is now all that remains of The Democratic Republic of the Congo's first democratically-elected prime minister. One Belgian police officer took this tooth as a memento back to his country. Belgium's prime minister returned that tooth to Lumumba's family in a ceremony that took place in Brussels. Prime Minister Alexander De Croo delivered a speech during a ceremony to hand over the tooth. Months later, however, Lumumba was assassinated after a Belgian-supported coup. He was tortured and executed, and his body dissolved in acid.

hope this helps:)
