There were a few of the warriors that were featured in glass enclosures so you could see them up close and see all the details on them. We were told that each warrior was scuplted using a different real person as the model so on every body they found 2 names: 1 was the name of the person that was the model and the second name was the artist that sculpted the warrior. The warriors were in different poses. This one is a kneeling warrior. He would have been holding some kind of weapon in his hands in a position to be prepared to go to battle.
This warrior is a calvaryman with his side horse. When they initially unearthed the warriors they were all vibrantly colored but after being exposed to the air all of the colors have faded. They have been testing different ways to recolor the statues but nothing will hold the color except for one German technique that has lasted for 5 years. They plan to wait until 7 years and then make a decision as to whether they will stick with this method.
This gives you a view of a group of the calvary warriors lined up in battle formation.
