The Terracotta Warrior figures date back to approximately the late 3rd century, BCE. They were found buried in 1974, by local farmers in China. The entire Terracotta army was buried with the emperor in 210–209 BCE with the purpose of protecting the emperor in his afterlife, as a form of funerary art. The figures vary in height according to their roles, with the tallest being the generals. The figures include warriors, chariots and horses.

Three pits containing the Terracotta Army held more than 8,000 soldiers, 130 chariots with 520 horses, and 150 cavalry horses, the majority of which remained buried in the pits near Qin Shi Huang's mausoleum. The resin figures are replicas of the Qing Dynasty terracotta warriors made with intricate attention to detail and to withstand the test of time. The board and storage case boast a lacquered look adorned with Qing Dynasty inspired dragons.
