Description
Workers digging a well outside the city of Xi'an, China, in 1974 struck upon one of a great archaeological find, life-size clay soldier
They found thousands of clay soldiers, each with unique facial features and positioned according to rank. Though largely gray today, patches of paint still indicate once brightly colored clothes. Further excavations have revealed swords, arrow tips, and other weapons, many in pristine condition.
