The following postcards depict figures from China that are still being excavated from what is being called the greatest archaeological discovery of the 20th century.  A farmer digging a well in 1974 discovered life size figures made of terra cotta.  The figures, no two of them are alike,  are representations of soldiers in the army of the Emperor of China around 200 BC.  Over 1,000 of them have been excavated and it is estimated that as many as 7,000 may eventually be unearthed.  The exhibition came to the High Museum of Art in Atlanta in the fall of 2008.
