The Bowers Museum in California is hosting an exhibition called "World of the Terracotta Warriors: New Archaeological Discoveries in Shaanxi in the 21st Century" through October 19, featuring over 110 newly uncovered treasures from the Qin Dynasty. The centerpiece of the show are a pair of terracotta chariots, including one with a bronze edge and turquoise images that is considered the most elaborately decorated at the time. Archaeologists discovered this replica in 1980, which took eight years to reconstruct from 70,000 shards dating back 3,000 years.
