Culture: China
Medium: Earthenware

Gazing straight ahead, the archer positions his hands as though holding a loaded crossbow, ready to shoot. In the burial pit, standing archers were often placed around their kneeling counterparts, suggesting that they would shoot in turn. All the terracotta warriors were once equipped with real bronze weapons, some of which may have been used in battle by living soldiers. About 40,000 bronze weapons and arrowheads were unearthed from the pit where this soldier was found.
