From my series on Chinese images, these miniature replica statues are of China's famous Terracotta Army. The original's are life size and number around 8000. They were buried underground at the entrance of China's first Emperor, Qinshihuang's tomb to protect him in the afterlife. They were modeled on actual citizens of the time and no two are the same.
"the warrior"
"the emperor's army"
These two images compliment each other and are available for sale from the orient gallery.

Hi Simone, I'm really glad you like the latest work. I brought them back with me last year from China and they've been sitting on my kitchen bench since then. I've been wanting to do something with them for so long and finally did last weekend. I would really have liked to have seen the real thing when I was there but just didn't have enough time.
