XI'AN: The Daming Palace Foundation in Shaanxi's provincial capital is recruiting volunteers to go to the United States to repair two stone horse sculpture reliefs dating back to the Tang Dynasty (AD 618-907).
The campaign is in response to a request from the University of Pennsylvania, where they are on display.
Six horse reliefs once lined the corridor of the Tang emperor Li Shimin's mausoleum.
