BEIJING, Feb. 26, 2016 -- Photo taken on Feb. 26, 2016 shows the returning head of an ancient Buddhist sculpture of the North Qi (550-557) period in Beijing, capital of China. The sculpture, made of white marble, dates back to the North Qi of South and North Dynasties. It was originally worshipped in Youju Temple in Lingshou County, Hebei, where the Buddha's head was stolen in 1996. Master Hsing Yun, founding abbot of Fo Guang Shan Temple in Kaohsiung, decided to return the 80 kg head to the mainland after it was presented to him by a private collector last year.
