Eternal Army
Photograph by O. Louis Mazzatenta
Guarding the tomb of Zhu Yafu, a general who served under Emperor Jing, these terra-cotta soldiers stand roughly 20 inches (50 centimeters) tall and compose part of a miniature army 3,000 strong. Intended to protect Zhu in the next world, they instead brought about his early demise: The emperor grew jealous and fearful that any of his generals should have an afterlife army to rival his own, so he threw Zhu into prison, where he later died.
