A bronze horse head sculpture looted from Yuanmingyuan is on display at Wenshu Pavilion of Zhengjue Temple in Yuanmingyuan, Beijing, capital of China, Dec. 1, 2020. A bronze horse head sculpture, a treasure of China's Old Summer Palace that went missing after an Anglo-French allied forces' looting 160 years ago, returned to its original palace home Tuesday. It is the first time that a lost important cultural relic from the Old Summer Palace, or "Yuanmingyuan," has been returned to and housed at its original location after being repatriated from overseas.
