| This Terracotta Armoured General is wearing a cap in the shape of a crossbill tail, a double-layered long robe covered by fish-scale armour with shoulder pieces, two-part puttees and square-front shoes. Nine terracotta generals have been unearthed to date. Divided into armoured and unarmoured soldiers, they are the highest rank to have been discovered among the excavated figures of the Qin terracotta army. The generals have usually been found standing behind troops or commanding chariots, with the remains of "zheng" bells and drums close by. This general terracotta is a collection of the Emperor Qinshihuang's Mausoleum Site Museum. |
