Tang relic back on China soil after 4 years

Members of the cultural relics department of the State Administration of Cultural Heritage look over the sarcophagus of Tang empress Wu Huifei (AD 699-737) in Xi'an, Shaanxi province, June 17, 2010. The 27-ton stone coffin arrived at the Shaanxi History Museum on Thursday, four years after it was smuggled out of the country. The sarcophagus is 4 meters long, 2.58 meters wide and 2.45 meters high. It features flowers and maiden figures in relief. It was stolen from Wu's tomb in Xi'an in 2006 and sold to a businessman in the US for $1 million. [Photo/Asianewsphoto]
