The auction of the zodiac heads from the Old Summer Palace has recently drawn much attention. Yesterday, Mr. Wu, a collector from Hangzhou, said that he also had a "head" in his collection - a "horse head", reportedly made of Hotan jade from the Eastern Han period, which he acquired twenty years ago in Shandong in exchange for his other collections. Mr. Wu said that if this "horse head" were to be auctioned, its price would be expected to be between 5 million yuan and 10 million yuan.
