Description :
Terracotta Army warrior statue, part of a collection of sculptures depicting the army of Qin Shi Huang, the first Emperor of China. These figures were buried with the emperor around 210–209 BCE to protect him in the afterlife. Key facts include:
Discovered in 1974 by a farmer digging a well.
The army consists of approximately 8,000 terracotta soldiers, along with horses and chariots.
Each warrior is unique, with individually crafted features and attire.
The figures were created using clay coils, with heads made and fired separately before assembly.
Originally painted with bright colors, much of the paint has faded over time.
The Terracotta Army is considered the "eighth Wonder of the World".
The warriors were intended to ensure the emperor's safety and power in the afterlife.
And
Vintage Asian figures, possibly representing concepts of happiness, long life, and luck. They may also represent the "Three Wise Monkeys" or three deities in Buddhism.
The set includes three small, cream-colored figurines.
They might be made of resin.
One possible interpretation is that they represent the proverb "See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil".
Another interpretation could be that they are related to Buddhist figures or deities, symbolizing enlightenment, inner peace, and balance.
They are described as vintage, suggesting they are not newly made.
