Description
|
|
|
|
The Terracotta Army of Qin Shi Huang, First Emperor of China, has often been described as the Eighth Wonder of the World—more than 8,000 life-sized sculpted warriors buried in battle ranks around the emperor's tomb, armed with real weapons, and each an individual with his own unique face. But why did this powerful emperor need an army to guard him in the afterlife? How were the figures made? And how could they have been manufactured on such a vast scale? This beautifully photographed, compact catalog reveals the facts behind these remarkable soldiers, profiling several exemplary pieces individually.
