Terra-cotta Chinese Warriors - Set of 4

Price:$39.00

Item#:1074365

Qty: Available, ready to ship.






In 1974, the vast burial chamber of third-century Chinese Emperor Qin Shihuangdi was discovered by farmers in the north-central Shaanxi Province. It contained more than 7,000 life-size terra-cotta warriors. This set of four handcrafted miniature terra-cotta models of classic poses— general, soldier, and archer—arrives in a black silk gift box. The National Geographic Museum's 2009–2010 "Terra Cotta Warriors" exhibition was the most well attended in the museum's history, and these figures are a handsome commemoration of this landmark event.


Box is 7"W x 9"H. Warriors are 5"H (kneeling)–6"H (standing).


From left to right as pictured here are an administrative officer, a kneeling archer, a soldier, and a general.

The price of this set was less than the set in the gift shop in Xian, China, adjacent to the actual Terracotta Soldier excavations. However, I experienced two major problems. The first is the uneven bases that i had to build up with craft glue in order to get them to stand up for display. The second is that it is extremely difficult to determine which is the soldier and ranking officer. The description refers to only three of the four statues. It is relatively easy to pick out the General and Kneeling Archer, but the last two of the four is a guess, even with a book and different material/brochures that I brought home with me. The figures advertised should have corresponding titles for the rank or character that they represent.

I love the look of these warriors, but the coloration of one is quite different than the other three. Several have to be propped against something because the bottoms are not entirely flat, so they are not very stable. I still love them and they fit well with my decor, however.

          The first set I received were broken. I sent it back for a replacement. Two of the replacement set tilt to the side. The color is dark and dingy, and look of poor quality. I expected a reddish terra cotta color with some spots of color in the creases.
          Very disappointed in quality. If they hadn't been a gift, I would have pitched.

          Authentic product and beautiful storage case. Ours arrived with one soldier decapitated. NG promptly shipped another set at no charge. My wife the teacher is thrilled to have not one, but two sets of warriors for her classroom.

          I was very much looking forward to this set, especially at a workable size for a small apartment. The figures were attractive, although they were charcoal grey rather than a true terra cotta as are the originals. One of the figures was broken when the set arrived and I returned the set immediately.

          Had to re-order (items broken). Shipped the exact same way and were broken again. Made one set from two. Packaging is nice, but need better packing in the shipping box. Great service from Nat. Geo, however!

          The original shippment arrived and there were three damaged warriors. The next shippment was pagkaged with more padding, and arrived intact.
          The picture was a good representation of the set, and the product container was a pleasent suprise.

          Comments about Terra-cotta Chinese Warriors - Set of 4:

          I bought these for some Chinese friends of mine. The carving is average at best. The worst part is that the base of at least 2 of the figures is uneven. Thus the figures do not stand up straight, but rather lean over - not quite to the point of falling over. I would not recommend these to anyone - the quality is not adequate.

            This was purchased as a gift for our 10 yr old granddaughter who really wants to visit china, this is one of the things she wants to see. The gift box is beautiful, but one of the pieces came chipped on the base, fortunately I was able to repair. Otherwise, an interesting gift ane we hope our granddaughter enjoys them.
