Travel photography from Emperor Qinshihuang's Mausoleum Site Museum in Xi'an, China, featuring the Terracotta Army and the details of its clay warriors.

Emperor Qinshihuang’s Mausoleum Site Museum – The Terracotta Army

The Terracotta Army brings the world of China’s first emperor into view through rows of clay warriors and horses. This gallery explores the museum through wide views of the excavation pits and closer studies of the figures.

Faces, Armour & Detail

Individual faces, carefully modelled hairstyles, and patterned armour offer a closer look at the craftsmanship of the warriors. The earthy tones and repeated forms give the photographs a rhythm, while the details distinguish one figure from the next.
