Looted Horse Head Returns to Beijing's Old Summer Palace

  • A horse head sculpture looted from China's Old Summer Palace 160 years ago has become the first of its kind to be restored to its original home.
  • It is one of 12 famous bronze animal head sculptures stolen from Beijing when British and French troops invaded China during the Second Opium War.
  • More than half of the pieces have already been found and returned to China, but are currently on display in other museums.
  • The horse head was donated by the late Macau tycoon Stanley Ho, who bought the artefact for US$8.9m (£6.63m) at a Sotheby's auction in Hong Kong in 2007 and later donated it to the Chinese government in 2019.
  • The Chinese government then spent a year refurbishing a temple in the Old Summer Palace grounds and turned it into an exhibition venue.
