Description This amazing life-size replica of the Terracotta Army Officer’s Statue has been made from solid antique wood and finished in gold paint. The Terracotta Army was discovered in 1974 by Yang Peiyang, a peasant farmer, whilst digging for a well in the fields at Xiyang. At a depth of 4 metres the farmers found pottery fragments, followed by the pottery torso of a man. To date more than 8000 warriors and horses were unearthed, along with over 100 wooden chariots. According to archaeologists the soldiers form a part of an elaborate mausoleum created to accompany the first emperor of China into the afterlife.
