China's Terracotta Warriors Part II

Roof title from the Imperial City of the First Emperor
As promised, here is Part II. This mostly the other artifacts that the exhibit had. I thought it was really cool thing to see. Most of the artifacts are from the First Emperor (Qin Empire) and are dated 221-206 BC. There are some that were in the exhibit that were older and I will note those:

Bronze Lance Head
Ornaments for horses head (770-476 BC)
Ritual Vessel-Bronze (771-476 BC)

Miniature calvaryman and horse (475-211 BC)
Wine Vessel (475-221 BC)
Hollow brick used to pave the First Emperor's Palace Steps
Bell (770-476 BC)
Being a history geek, it was a real treat to see something up close that I have watched on PBS.
