Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor, Shaanxi Province, China
The amazing Terracotta Warriors and Horses – more than twenty centuries-old sculptures embodying in the name of ancient traditions, beliefs and symbolism the armies of Qin Shi Huang, the first Emperor of China. It is one of the greatest forms of funerary art found inside a necropolis buried with the emperor in 210–209 BC.
