I always been intrigued by this terracotta army ever since I first found out about it. Especially the fact that each face on these statues is supposedly different and probably represented different soldiers in the ruler's army.

Nice shot. You have captured the variety of faces for comparison.
To bad the lighting is so flat. As I recall this is covered by a sky lighted structure, is it not?

this would also make a great composite with something else.

Rick,

this is what the roof looks like... obviously some protection is needed

Here's amother lot from the same pit - there are three of them with an estimated # of more than 7,000 soldiers in them.. the same guy united China and started building the Great Wall...

Fascinating. They appear to be walking out of the rubble.

These sculptors clearly had a great deal of talent, and your photos show this effectively.
