The heads of five zodiac beasts - the ox, tiger, monkey, pig and horse - are on display at Yuanmingyuan, the Old Summer Palace, in Beijing. The exhibition will last till October 29, marking the unprecedented reunification of the first four copper statues, collected by the Poly Art Museum, with the horse head after a lapse of 163 years. The five bronze-cast heads are part of the original set of 12 sculptures ripped from the imperial water fountain in Yuanmingyuan, representing a fusion of oriental zodiac culture and Western-style architecture.
