Their appearance is authentically ancient, and each terracotta figurine has subtle differences.
The Terracotta Army, also known as "Figures of Warriors and Horses Buried with the Dead" (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. Its purpose was to protect the emperor in his journey after death, ensuring his safety and power even in the afterlife.
* The highly replicated terracotta statues of warriors and horses faithfully represent their appearance at the time of their discovery. The aging process is much more complex than that of ordinary statues, requiring meticulous work and a significant period of time.
To achieve an authentic look, it is necessary to bury them in the ground for a certain 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.
The compact format and packaging in a set of 4 pieces make shelving easy in a space dedicated to decor or Asian-inspired themes. This product naturally finds its place alongside incense, minerals, or objects with an oriental inspiration.
Its atypical character and symbolic significance make it an interesting restocking item for building loyalty among customers curious about rare, history-laden objects.
