The Terracotta Warrior
This is a terracotta warrior. These terracotta warriors were created during the Qin Dynasty. I predict that these warriors were made to protect the Emperor Shi Huang Di’s tomb and him while he’s asleep. This terracotta warrior is a Primary source and is found in the tomb of Emperor Shi Huang Di. Terracotta warriors are now in the Qin Shi Huang mausoleum but were originally from the tomb. It was made in China. While men were digging a well they came across something rather odd. The warriors were created approximately 2200 years ago.

    A105 ASSIGNMENT 1

    This object is small at just 3.7 cm in length. There seems to be no information on circumference or height measurements. The shape takes that of a hare, with what appears to be a somewhat oval base. Three of the paws also take shape at the base of the object, with the forth paw raise in the front. The head is of circular shape with a prominent nose and mouth cleverly carved out of a crisscross shape which makes it look classically simple. The hare eyes have been inlaid with amber gem stones that sparkle like fire which gives the appearance of possible life within the hare. The ears are pulled back. This could be for the hare to appear that it may be listening to some sort of noise in the distance. This object appears to have been produced by hand carving, probably somewhere in Japan. The hare is made of Ivory which would most probably have been from an Asian elephant but could also have been made using ivory from another mammalian species. The ivory appears to have been either buffed and polished to give it a high glossy finish or has been coated with a varnish for the same effect. The hare appears to have some small varieties in colour though mostly being a cream colour. It has smaller darker parts with colour appearing brownish around the carved details such as the mouth, nose, ears and front right paw. This was likely caused by the object ageing over the years since its production.…

    Dry Bones

    The body that has been taken for analysis from the Chinese burial ground is an adult male. He is an adult because his femur is 50cm long which is around the average height and the epiphyseal discs are completely ossified so he is not going to grow anymore. He is a male because his pelvis is narrow and the pelvic outlet is small. This man was in good shape because the deltoid tuberosity, tibial tuberosity, and linea aspera are very distinct and well developed and his bone density is heavy which means he exercised a good amount. The circular hole in the temporal bone with edges that are smooth and well healed may indicate that this man may have had some sort of surgery to release pressure inside the skull.…

    Terracotta Warriors Legacy

    The terracotta warriors connect the soul of the past to the present. The achievements made by Qin Shi Huang during the Qin Dynasty are symbolically reflected in the terracotta warriors. Qin Shi Huang was a cruel and oppressive ruler which eventually lead to his demise. However, the cruelty displayed by him during the Qin Dynasty helped the formation of the Han Dynasty and paved the way for the China’s golden age. Although Qin Shi Huang built the terracotta warriors for his needs, it is still a legacy that Qin Shi Huang left behind. Even though the terracotta warriors did not directly influence the remaining dynasty and the present as it was unearthed in the 1980s, it is the leftovers of the Qin Dynasty.…

    Moche Strerup Jar Analysis

    At the Polk Museum exhibit I was struck by a Moche ceramic artifact titled “Stirrup Jar with Fanged Deity Effigy, Early Intermediate Period, 400-600 CE”. The base of the jar was molded into a sphere (with a flat bottom surface) which acts as the “body”, sporting painted arms and items held within each hand. The deity also appears to be wearing some kind of cloak, most notably indicated by the bow that is tied at the base of its neck. The head of the creature is molded to resemble rather monkey-like features, with bared fangs and large ears.…

    Essay On Ganymedes

    This sculpture shows an eagle and a man. The bird is sitting upright on the left hand side of the sculpture and the man is crouching to the right of him. The man is facing the eagle and feeding it from a bowl in his left hand. In the man’s right hand there is a pitcher. The man is wearing a pointed hat with flaps, and he has curly hair. The man appears to be young, around 25. Between the man's right arm and his right thigh is a clock like cloth that drapes behind the man. This man is crouching down and his back and shoulders are hunched over. His right knee is touching the ground and his left foot is flat on the floor making his left knee level with his right hand and the bowl. The man’s eyes are looking at the eagle's eyes, but the eagle is looking into the bowl that he is drinking or eating from. The point of the man’s hat is bent forward in a way that mimics the eagles head. The eagle is shown in hieratic scale, almost as large as the man. The man is crouching down in a servant like position, and is performing…

    Bucchero Is The Endemic Pottery Of Etruria

    Bucchero is the endemic pottery of Etruria and has a distinctive, almost black glossy finish. Produced from the early 7th century BCE, the style often imitated embossed bronze vessels. Popular shapes include bowls, jugs, cups, utensils, and anthropomorphic vessels. Bucchero wares were commonly placed in tombs and were exported widely throughout Europe and the Mediterranean. Another later specialization was the production of terracotta funerary urns which had a half-life-size figure of the deceased on the lid sculpted in the round. These were painted, and although sometimes a little idealized, they, nevertheless, present a realistic portraiture. The sides of these square urns are often decorated with relief sculpture showing scenes from…
