US authorities have returned a stolen Picasso painting to France.

The painting, worth an estimated 15-million US dollars, was discovered in a FedEx package delivered to the United States around 8-months ago.

It was reported missing from the National Museum of Modern Art in Paris in 2001.

"La Coiffeuse" or "The Hairdresser" was painted by Piccaso in 1911.
