A shopkeeper (R) stands next to a model

A shopkeeper (R) stands next to a model of a bronze rat head, one of the 18th century Qing dynasty bronzes that are part of a collection of 12 inspired by the Chinese zodiac, at a souvenir shop in the Old Summer Palace, also called Yuanmingyuan, in Beijing on February 24, 2009. A French judge authorised on February 23 the sale of two Chinese bronzes - taken from the Old Summer Palace 150 years ago by British and French troops - at an auction of Yves Saint Laurent artworks, rejecting a plea for them to be returned to China. The 18th century Qing dynasty bronzes are to go under the hammer on February 24. AFP PHOTO/LIU Jin (Photo credit should read LIU JIN/AFP via Getty Images)
