Terra Cotta Warriors of China
Our Chocolate Replica
- Terrr Cotta Warrior
We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone involved in helping us make this project a reality. Eight months ago we were challenged to replicate the Terra Cotta Warrior of Quin Shi Huang, the first Emperor of China. These life size statues were crafted in 210 B.C. and discovered in 1974 in Xi’an China by a local farmer. Over 8000 statues were excavated. Since then they have been viewed in museums all over the world . In June 2010, they were exhibited at the Royal Ontario Museum in Canada. We are honored to have our 7 inch chocolate replica of the Chinese General Terra Cotta Soldier for sale at the museum shop and the online store for the duration of the exhibit which concludes in January 2011.
Come by our shop and see them for yourself. It’s truly a work of art!
