The original Terracotta Warriors varied in size according to status. This recreation is based on soldiers of a middle rank, with the upright warrior standing at 1.88 metres tall. A kneeling counterpart and 1m miniature are also available. *** Like the originals, they are hand crafted in China. Whilst these statues have been faithfully recreated, they are produced from a concrete and fibreglass composite - not Terracotta - to ensure they are frost proof and extremely durable.*** They also contain a woven internal fibreglass mesh to further support their structure.*** History of Terracotta Warriors: On 29th March 1974 seven Chinese farmers set about their daily business of digging irrigation wells in the parched landscape of Xi'an, Shaanxi province. Several hours later they had made one of the most important archaeological discoveries of modern times - an army of Terracotta Warriors. ***Yang Zhifa, now perhaps the most famous of the group, struck one of the warriors on the head after digging 15 metres below the surface. "Everyone was afraid to touch it," says Yang Quanyi, another of the seven. "We thought it was a temple statue - a Buddha perhaps. The women thought it might bring a curse down on the village."***Two years later, major excavation begun on the site and exposed a 14,000 square metre vault containing an army of 6,000 figures. Further exploration uncovered two smaller vaults and further units bringing the total to well over 8,000 men.***Equipped with all the accoutrements of war including weapons, Terracotta Horses and Chariots, the army stood ready to march into the afterlife with their creator Qin Shi Huang, the first Emperor of modern day China.
