Terracotta figurines are made from fired clay, made by hand, then finished with care.



Their appearance is authentically ancient, and each terracotta figurine has subtle differences.



The Terracotta Army, also known as "Warrior and Horse Figurines Buried with the Dead" (兵马俑, bīngmǎ yǒng), is a collection of nearly eight thousand terracotta sculptures of soldiers and horses, depicting the army of Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of China, it aimed to protect the emperor in his journey after death, ensuring his safety and power even in the afterlife.



Generals: These statues are the highest in rank and most richly decorated in the Terracotta Army. They are usually depicted with prestigious weapons and uniforms, symbolizing their high rank in the imperial army.



*The highly replicated terracotta statues of warriors and horses faithfully represent the appearance at the time of their discovery. The aging process is much more complex than that of ordinary statues, requiring careful work and a significant period of time. To achieve an authentic look, it is necessary to bury them in the ground for a period of time, then dig them up, expose them to the elements and restore them. Only after this natural erosion process can a realistic effect be achieved. Therefore, their value is considerably high due to the complexity and authenticity of the manufacturing process.
