Title

Roots Of Knowledge Panel G3

Description

Columns of Terracotta Soldiers bridge windows F-3 and G-3. Numbering well into the thousands, these life-sized terracotta sculptures were prepared as funerary art on behalf of the first emperor of a unified China, Qin Shi Huang, and buried with the emperor in Xi’an. Also on the window’s left side is a reference to the birth of Buddhism. The representation of Buddha is based upon bronze statues like the thirteenth century Great Buddha at the Buddhist temple of Kōtoku-in in Kamakura, Japan.
