Description: New York, Da Capo Press, 2008. First Edition. Hardcover. Octavo; pp; (xvi), 287, index; illustrated with color photographs and three maps; black cloth and tan paper covered boards, lettered in gilt in a pictorial dust jacket. The Terra Cotta Army is one of the greatest archaeological discoveries ever made. Over seven thousand life-size figures of warriors and horses were interred in the mausoleum of the first emperor of China—and each figure was individually carved.

Very good/very good.
