The Returned National Treasures of Yuanmingyuan

 

Tiger head Statue

 

Tiger head Statue is quite different from the traditional Chinese tiger figures. If there is no mark “王” (means King of the jungle) on the forehead, many people will mistakenly take the stature as the image of a lion. It is a typical combination of the Arts of East and west.

Cattle head statue

 

The cattle head statue is like a Spanish bull, full of Western characteristics.

China has gotten back more than 3,500 pieces of cultural relics from overseas since 1997. The government consistently maintains that historic relics abroad should be reclaimed by legal and diplomatic means, under the legal framework and principles set up by international society and through international cooperation.
