Vintage Chinese Terracotta Warrior Officer Statue

In the hierarchy of the Xi'an terracotta army, the officer figures are distinguished from the infantry by their more elaborate armour, their composed bearing, and the authority that the original sculptors conveyed through posture and detail, and this decorative officer statue captures those distinctions with care.

Modelled on the high-ranking officer figures of the Xi'an terracotta army, this decorative statue features textured armour with the additional detail characteristic of the officer rank, a formal standing pose, and an aged dark finish that conveys the composed gravitas of the originals. The officer figure is the figure of command in the terracotta warrior hierarchy, and its presence in a display grouping gives the arrangement a sense of military order that reflects the original army's structure. At 16 cm tall, it stands at the same height as the standing infantry and helmeted figures, making it a natural companion in a tiered display.
