Complete your oriental design scheme with this terra cotta warrior statue from China.Artfully crafted by expert artisans, this statue is a replica of those found at a Chinese archaeological dig. In 1974, well-diggers stumbled on a huge underground vault containing thousands of life size clay soldiers. The vault turned out to be Lintong, the burial ground of Emperor Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor to unify China in a series of bloody wars between 246 and 221 B.C. Thousands of these stoic guardians along with life-size terracotta horses filled the tomb. These fascinating pieces are 6 x 19 inch standing (6 x14 sitting) replica of the soldiers of Lintong. The terracotta has been weathered and given a muddy texture to capture the look of the original statues which now reside in a Chinese museum.Discover the thousands of treasures brought to you at low online prices by Worldstock.
