Inside the red soil, there were hundreds of beautifully crafted armed warriors statues. These warriors were the guardian army of Emperor Qin Shi Huang, who had unified China through a series of wars between 246 and 221 BC. Over 7000 terracotta soldiers, horses, and countless bronzes have been discovered in this burial site. The replica of a Terracotta Soldier presented here is an example of such a find. He is dressed in a suit of armor, two long robes, and trousers. His two hands are extended, as if for weapons placement. The soldier also has a necktie and an intricate roll of hair atop his head. This piece would be perfect as an accent in any modern setting.
