The Terracotta Chariot Horses represent the war chariots of the Qin army that were drawn by four horses. The chariot's are accompanied and carried by three men, equipped with one driver, the leader on the left and a spearman on the right.
In the 1980's, The Terracotta Warriors are a significant archeological embodiment of Chinese culture and history. During his reign in the Qin dynasty, Emperor Qin Shi Huang Di ordered the production of over 7,000 terracotta soldiers to surround his tomb and accompany him into the afterlife.
