The Lucky One


When I was in Xi'An at the TerraCotta warriors museum, I fell prey to the museum shop.  The first of my purchases arrived on Friday, a 1/3rd size "The Lucky One".  

The name refers to the simple fact that out of the 8,000 or so warriors that have been uncovered by the archeologists, this is the only figure to have been found without breakage of any kind.
The packaging on this dude was superb. He made it all the way from China without a scratch.  Of course, breaking him out of his styrofoam and blown foam container was a bit of a project!

Bill came over when he heard the screeching noise of the Styrofoam being attacked. The final image is a 1/3rd size copy of "The Lucky One."

I also ordered a Terra Cotta General, also at 1/3rd size. Once he arrives, I will need to figure out exactly where to place them.
