Summary

[edit]
Description A closer view of the terracotta figures in one of the excavated pits. Life size terracotta figures of warriors and horses arranged in battle formations are the star features at the excavation site, which is also a museum. They are replicas of what the imperial guard would have looked like in those bygone days of pomp and vigor. The Terracotta Army, literally 'soldier-and-horse funerary statues' is a collection of terracotta sculptures depicting the armies of Qin Shi Huang, the first Emperor of China. It is a form of funerary art buried with the emperor in 210–209 BC and whose purpose was to protect the emperor in his after life. (Xi'an, Shaanxi, China, May 2017)
