How the warriors are made

Here at TerraCottaWarriors.Com we sell replicas of the 2000-year-old statue army that has been unearthed from the ground of China. Formed from the same mixture of clays from the Shaanxi Province, each statue is hand crafted, in the same manner as the original warriors found in the Imperial Tomb. First, this clay mixture is carefully worked into hand carved molds. Next, once removed from the mold, the statue is carefully finished to remove excess clay and to inscribe the fine details. The statues are then allowed to "set" before being placed into the kilns for firing. The coal-fired kilns are much like the ones originally used. In a process that takes from three to four days the kilns are brought up to a temperature of 1,300 degrees and then allowed to cool slowly. After carefully removing the statues from the kiln, each piece is cleaned and finished with a special wash, to replicate the look of the original warriors.
