Summary[edit]
.jpg&action=edit§ion=1){kind=link}
| Description | Apart from humans, there are terracotta horses too. Some of the terracotta figures are without heads, but their bodies are complete. Studies of their portions have revealed that the heads, arms, and torsos of the figures were created separately and then assembled. It is believed that most warriors' heads and arms were produced in molds as separate modules. After assembly, clay was applied to the surface of the sculptures so that artists could model the faces and hairdos individually. Then, the figures were fired in kilns to make the clay hard and durable. Afterwards, they were painted with bright colors. As a result, every figure looks different and unique, just like real people do. After 2,000 years of erosion and humidity, most figures have lost their original vivid color. Notes about the terracotta army appear in previous and in subsequent captions. (Xi'an, Shaanxi, China, May 2017) |
