  The Terracotta Army, also known as the Terracotta Warriors and Horses, is a collection of life-sized sculptures that were discovered in the Shaanxi province of China in 1974. It is a part of the mausoleum complex of Emperor Qin Shi Huang, who was the first emperor of China and ruled during the Qin Dynasty (221-206 BC). The Terracotta Army consists of thousands of individual sculptures of soldiers, as well as horses and chariots. These statues were created to accompany the emperor in the afterlife and serve as his protectors. Each soldier is unique in appearance and is believed to represent an actual soldier from Emperor Qin Shi Huang's army. The sculptures were made using the technique of creating the figures' body parts separately and then assembling them together. They were originally painted with vivid colors, but much of the paint has faded over time. The discovery of the Terracotta Army is considered one of the most significant archaeological findings of the 20th century. It offers valuable insights into the military and artistic practices of ancient China and showcases the immense power and resources of the Qin Dynasty. Today, the Terracotta Army is a major tourist attraction, with thousands of people visiting the site each year to marvel at the intricate sculptures and learn about China's rich history. The site has been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and continues to be a source of fascination and study for archaeologists and historians alike.

  Terracotta pottery is made by baking terracotta clay. In fact, the word “terracotta” comes from the Italian words for “baked earth.” Makes sense, right? You may also hear “terracotta“ used to describe color. The terracotta color is a natural brown-orange.

  Renowned as one of the "Eight Wonders of the World," the Terracotta Army of the First Emperor of Qin (r. 246-210 BC) is not only a great legacy of his military might, but also a superb paradigm of ancient Chinese sculpture.
