Ref.#07 8462 ~ Terra Cotta Warriors, Xian

​Terra Cotta Warriors of Xi'an, Shaanxi, China ~ The Terracotta Army or the "Terracotta Warriors and Horses" 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 afterlife. It is esti­mated there are over 8000 warriors along with horses, and chariots.  Each figure is unique. Only a por­tion of the army has been excavated, restored and protected under an enormous airplane hanger-type of enclosure. The figures, dating from approximately the late third century BC were discovered in 1974 by local farmers.
