From the back cover: First discovered by farmers in 1974, the life-size terracotta army created for China's First Emperor, Qin Shihuang (r. 221-210 BC), is known as one of the greatest archaeological finds of the 20th century. This fascinating publication features ten of these majestic figures as well as an array of excavated objects-including arms and armor, horse and chariot fittings, ritual bronze vessels, gold and silver, jade ornaments, precious jewelry, and ceramics -from Qin Shihuang's mausoleum complex and earlier sites. Spanning five centuries, these works are drawn from fourteen museums and archaeological institutes across Shaanxi Province and represent the culture, myths, and customs of the Qin people and their neighbors in ancient China. Together with insightful text, these objects illuminate Qin's rich and complex history, the First Emperor's rise to power, and his quest for immortality. An essay by Zhang Weixing of Emperor Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum Site Museum provides valuable information on the most recent archaeological activities.Please feel free to ask any questions.
