Terra Cotta Warrior Replica

I believe that this picture is a good representation of what the maker was trying convey, and that was the terra cotta warriors. The makers of these warriors ranged from skilled artists to 5 people at a time working on one sculpture. These warriors were to convey the army of the Chinese. An interesting fact about these warriors is that not one of them is exactly the same because of the mass production of so many people at one time. Figures range in height and in facial expressions such as mustaches, a smile, a hair style, or even an eye. Each warrior was produced with the intention of it being life size, but not all of the warriors turned out to be complete after the excavation was complete.
