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.

Warrior in combat gear: These statues represent one of the categories of soldiers among the statues of the terracotta army. They are usually depicted as soldiers dressed in simple combat outfits. Compared to other types of terracotta warriors, they often have less equipment and decorations. These soldiers were likely ordinary infantrymen, tasked with guard duty and other general military duties, rather than senior commanders or members of special troops. Their depiction could reflect the typical image of ordinary soldiers in the ancient Chinese army, with simple outfits but unwavering courage and determination.

Knight: These terracotta soldiers depicted leading horses, tasked with transportation and support duties. They are often depicted pulling carts or wagons carrying military supplies. Although their decoration is generally less elaborate, it nevertheless reflects their importance in army logistics. A knight figurine represents a Muslim Hui, an ethnic minority in China, part of the Muslim community.

*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.
