Four precious bronze animal heads from Yuanmingyuan - or the Summer Palace in Beijing - are on display at an exhibition opened in Shanghai on November 24, 2015. Bronze heads of an Ox, Monkey, Tiger, and Pig are displayed at the six-day long event for public benefit. They were originally part of a series of bronze sculptures of men with animal heads that represent the 12 animals of the Chinese zodiac. The four pieces exemplify the exquisite craftsmanship of Imperial China, but they were lost for over a century after being looted by the Eight-Nation Alliance in 1860. (Photo/IC)
