Terra Cotta Warriors Closeup

Here is a closeup of the warriors. Each face was unique and based on a living person at the time. They all have sad expressions because the men who sculpted the faces were kept far away from their families and were killed when the job was done to preserve the secret location. The warriors were supposed to have served as burial objects for the Qin emperor but they were destroyed by marauders.
