Francois-Henri Pinault, CEO of PPR Foundation and the "owner" of two bronze animal head sculptures, unveils a handover ceremony of the heads plundered by western invaders one-and-a-half centuries ago in Beijing, capital of China, June 28, 2013. The heads of a rat and a rabbit, parts of a fountain clock that previously stood at the Old Summer Palace, or "Yuanmingyuan" in Chinese, were donated on April 26, 2013 by the Pinault family, which owns the French luxury brand Kering. The handover ceremony was held Friday at National Museum of China. (Xinhua/Li Xin)
