Qin bronze chariots

The Qin bronze chariots (銅車馬 or 秦銅車馬) are a set of two Qin dynasty bronze model chariots unearthed in 1980 at the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, who was the first Qin dynasty emperor who reigned from 247 to 220 BCE. Though initially discovered in multiple fragments, the chariots were fully restored after five years, standing as near-half life-size models. The first piece, bronze chariot number one (一號銅車馬), consists of an open chariot drawn by four bronze horses, and a single standing driver with a nearby stand with a bronze umbrella.
