Warriors from another age

[Kiasmum]

Replicas of the Terracotta Army unexpectedly guarding part of the garden at Buscot House not far from us.

Eyes front!


About Turn!




The Archer


These are quite impressive even as replicas so I can't imagine what a wow-factor the real things must have.

...........and all in an English country garden....they do look regal.

I always find the topknots on these kind of statues interesting. History tells us that the warriors would put spoils of war in them (small trinkets, jewelry, etc.) All of them are different too. The POV in #2 is outstanding. What an eye you have, Karin. ~~Peg

Very interesting set. These work really well in the vertical.

Good find! I think I saw an original in a museum once but it has been so long ago that it, too, may have been a copy.

They took us by surprise when we came up the steps and yes,they are regal.

Thank you,I thought so because they are actually quite tall.

Thank you. It may have been an original because the Chinese do loan them out for special exhibitions.
