Bronze thought to be looted goes on auction

An rare Chinese bronze water vessel thought to have been taken during the looting of Beijing's Summer Palace in 1860 has been discovered in Kent, southeast England.

The relic will go on sale at The Canterbury Auction Galleries on April 11 at an estimated price of 120,000 to 200,000 British pounds ($170,000 to $285,000).

According to Canterbury Auction Galleries, only six similar vessels, known as ying, are said to exist, and five of them are in museums.
