We managed to see examples when they came to Los Angles county museum of arts in 1980.
Needless to say we did visit Xi An, and in all honesty, the city of Xi An is not the garden spot of China. However, our time at the various excavations was truly awesome.
Interesting picture of the farmer, that accidentally uncovered the main burial section in March 1974.
Picture courtesy of my wife. (there is family anecdote about this picture)
Candid shot of him signing a book .. it should be noted that in this section no: unauthorised or flash photography was permitted .. hence the anecdote .. Robbie should blog her very interesting travel stories ...
No subtle hints here, note the open cash drawer
There are various accounts of the 1974 unearthing, these range from "a farmer" to a "group of farmers" ... That being said this is the only one present at the warrior site....
