It sits in limbo, owned by the Crown but
Hi teachers,
Called the Staffordshire Hoard, it consists of more than 1,500 gold and silver objects from the seventh century and was valued at more than $4.5 million. While local museums scramble to raise enough money to keep the hoard off the open market, it sits in limbo, owned by the Crown but facing claims by the landowner and the metal detectorist who found it.
1. Does "it" refer to "the Staffordshire Hoard"?
2. Does "the Crown" mean the British government?
3 What does "the limbo" mean in this text?
Thank you.

Hi Mister Micawber,
It sits in limbo, owned by the Crown...

Thank you.
