Went to see the the Terracotta Warriors Guardians of Immortality display at Te Papa last weekend.
Here’s some photos of the Ch’in war machine.
What a pity good Ch’in Miniatures are hard to find.
[I apologise for the slightly odd ordering of the photos below. It is difficult to manage photos in blogger and have them in the same order as posted on Facebook in Russell's post. Admin.]
