Terra cota Warriors

The exhibit was a wonderful experience- well worth the drive and the time spent. The fact that the artifacts are so well preserved was astonishing. The detail and craftmanship of the individual pieces were a sight to remember. There were a wide variety of warriors on display. The one that I thought was most remarkable was the chariot complete with two horses and the driver. The attention to detail (as you can see in the photographs) was spectacular and knowing that this art was created by hand 2,000 years ago made it all the more interesting.
