Discovered in 1974 near the ancient capital of Xian, the tomb contained an astonishing 7,500 terracotta replicas of Shih Huang-size-ti famous fighting force. Legions of officers, soldiers, archers and horsemen, all carved in minute detail, guard the emperor's sarcophagus. The armor, uniforms, hair and facial expressions of the soldiers are reproduced in every detail. Each figure is different - except on one point: all cloths worn around the neck.
