Set Of 5 Qin Dynasty Terracotta Warriors In Miniature (Med) Brass ColorThe vaults or pits containing Qin Shihuang`s Terracotta Army are located just outside Xian. This army of more than 6,000 life size terracotta warriors, with horses and chariots lined up facing east and ready for battle, is one of the world’s most remarkable archaeological finds. The terracotta warriors were made for Qin Shihuang (259-210BC),also known as The First Emperor, and with his mausoleum lying only 1.5km, (0.9 miles) away it is assumed the army was made to accompany him on his journeys after death. The statues were built over 2,000 years ago from the local clay. Each warrior’s face was carved individually and no two faces are the same. Many warriors clearly belong to China’s minority groups, which is significant as Qin Shihuang was the first emperor to unify China. Quantities are limited for this hand crafted item. Size Warriors: L 2" x H 7" x D 1.5"
