This is the armour
of a military officer.
He is a member of
the officer class and
has many different
plates in his armour
to make it easier for
him to move and fight.
Your warrior is ready to guard the emperor’s tomb!

Every warrior in the terracotta army had a different face and
was brightly coloured. Over time the colour has worn away
and only traces remain.
This cavalry horse has a fitted
saddle and would have been
ridden by a warrior called a
cavalryman. There are no stirrups
for the rider’s feet, so he would
have had to grip hard with his
knees when charging into battle!

This is the armour of
a general. The three
ribbons show he is
the highest-ranking
and most impressive
of the warriors.

This is the armour of a
charioteer. There are no
sleeves on this armour
so the charioteer can
stand with his arms
outstretched to hold the
reins of the four horses
that pull the chariot.
This warrior wears a
simple folded robe.
To make him into
a general, military
officer or charioteer
you need to dress
him in armour.
