The group of life-size clay soldiers and other figures – commonly known as the "Terracotta Army" – discovered near Xi’an, China, are reported to total as many as 8,000 in number, although more conservative estimates place this figure somewhat lower (in the region of 6,000–8,000). Archaeologists have located 600 pits across a 22-sq-mile area since their accidental discovery in 1974. Figures excavated so far include soldiers, archers, horses, chariots, officials, musicians and acrobats.
The army was originally produced under the instructions of Qin Shi Huangdi (who proclaimed himself first emperor of China in 221 BC), and was intended to accompany his funerary tomb. Mass-produced using moulds, each finished figure has a unique face. Some 40,000 bronze weapons – including battle axes, crossbows, arrowheads and spears – have also been recovered. Their sophisticated protective chrome plating means that these items remain well preserved after more than 2,000 years.
