Collage Obsession - Oriental
For 2200 years, beneath a field in China, 8000 terracotta warriors in full battle regalia guarded the tomb of Qin Shi Huang, the first emporer of China. Villagers digging for a well in 1974 discovered this astounding archeological site. Each warrior is about 6 ft tall, and no two are alike. They are accompanied by horses and wooden chariots, as well as other artifacts. Who knows what mysteries might be buried beneath our feet?
This is great, Bev! Beautiful lighting and composition. We saw some of the warriors in an exhibit in DC a couple of years ago. When my son was working in China, he took a trip to see the original site. Amazing...
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with Sherry re the composition and lighting, and yes we never know what is under our feet (archaeology was one of my professions). Cheers
ReplyDeleteVery nice - love the subtle colors, and the great composition!
ReplyDeleteVery nice with the added element off to the side. Great coloring too.
ReplyDeleteThis is great, simple and elegant.
ReplyDeleteBeve, this is stunning in its simplicity! Those beautifully lit, strong faces tell it all!
ReplyDeleteJust wonderful Bev. My sister took herself off to China last year and saw these magnificent sculptures, xx
ReplyDeleteWow I love these statues they are amazing and you have made them into something beautiful!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful piece, Bev. They must be quite overwhelming in person.
ReplyDeleteGreat piece Bev! I saw a show about these on PBS. It was fascinating.
ReplyDeleteLove the terracotta warriors! This is a great way to show them off.
ReplyDeleteCool! There's an anonymous Chineses man that recreated these warriors, a miniature of the Forbiden City, and other treasures and opened a museum in Katy, Texas. It is a wonderful place to visit, where you can get a feeling of these wonders.
ReplyDeleteThis is on my bucket list to see Bev. What a lovely tribute to this incredible find!
