People know that the Chinese emperors valued the afterlife highly so that is why the emperor buried a gigantic army with him. Each of these soldiers and horses were made individually to be personalized based off what they actually looked like. All of the warriors were life size and generals were slightly larger than the soldiers.]]> 2019-12-13 15:05:22 UTC https://padlet.com/madigad/mxxdw0kildh5/wish/423830381 https://padlet.com/madigad/mxxdw0kildh5/wish/423836815 The David Vases is an iconic artwork that represents Chinese culture, because the blue and white porcelain can be specifically attributed to Chinese culture. Porcelain plates are often referred to as "Fine China". The rare inscriptions around the neck of the vases and bands of dragons make them easily identifiable as works from ancient China. Porcelain is abundant in China, so it would make sense for there to be a plethora of objects made from porcelain.

The images on the surfaces of the vases are in cobalt blue and are dragons which is mainly used in Chinese art.
