Terra-cotta Chinese Warriors - Set of 4

In 1974, the vast burial chamber of third-century Chinese Emperor Qin Shi Huang 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 is sponsoring an exhibition of Qin warriors and other burial artifacts in fall 2009.

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 an handsome commemoration of this landmark event.

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