Some were fired first and then assembled and vis virsa with pure color, high hardness, the terracotta figures present the overall style of vigorous, simple and fitness. The colored lacquer finish, individual facial features, and replica weapons and armor used in manufacturing these figures created a realistic appearance. The figures include warriors, chariots, horses, officials, acrobats, strongmen, and musicians. Each of them has an individualized appearance, characterized mainly by its facial features, such as the mouth, hairstyle and facial expression. Experts believe they are modeled on real soldiers. The ceramic horses are all strong-limbed. Their heads are rearing and ears pricking. They all look lifelike and alert. The museum of Qin Terracotta Warriors and Horses is a great work of art.
