Bronze Sculptures
Photo taken on November 13, 2011 shows gold copies of the animal head sculptures of Yuanmingyuan, the Old Summer Palace, at a shopping center in Nanjing, capital of east China's Jiangsu Province. Once housed at Yuanmingyuan, the heads of 12 bronze sculptures of Chinese zodiac animals were looted by foreign invaders in 1860 at the end of the second Opium War (1856-1860). Some heads have been bought by patriotic Chinese and donated to the Central Government (XINHUA)
