Qin Terracotta Sculptures' Faces

 

Each face of Qin terracotta Sculpture is so realistically modeled that they look vivid, different in appearance and expressions. It is presumed that over 8000 life-size sculptures were made according to the real valiant Qin army soldiers by the Qin workmen. Such massive scale and mega size with individuality of expression had never been seen before in Chinese art.
