Chinese art used a variety of materials, such as bronze, jade and ceramics. The most spectacular and famous terracotta figures are those of the Xian Warriors, more than 8,000 life-size statues of soldiers and horses that appeared in the excavation of the tomb of the first emperor (3rd century BC).  In addition to these sculptures, terracotta was also used to represent smaller figures of anonymous people in everyday scenes.
