Terracotta figurines are made from fired clay, hand-made, and then carefully finished.



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



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



Knight: These terracotta soldiers are depicted leading horses, tasked with transport 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 the logistics of the army. A knight figurine represents a Muslim Hui, an ethnic minority in China, part of the Muslim community.
