The department says the FBI has joined the investigation into the sculpture's disappearance.
They say it has "cultural heritage significance."
Choate was a well-known American painter and sculptor who died in New York in 1965 at age 65.
Choate often showcased his work at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia and at the National Academy of Design in New York City.
The artist's travels to Greece, Morocco and Sudan strongly influenced his work.
