    The document discusses the Terracotta Army excavated near Xi'an, China, which consists of thousands of life-sized clay soldiers and horses buried alongside the first Qin emperor, Qin Shi Huang, to protect him in the afterlife. The Terracotta Army Museum located in Xi'an contains three vaults that exhibit the excavated statues of varying ranks and roles, with vault three being the only one containing some statues painted in color. So far only around 8,000 statues have been fully recovered from the tomb site.
