Female Terra Cotta Warriors.

From Spluch:

China’s 2,000-year-old terra-cotta warriors are getting some female company thanks to a Norwegian artist who is living next door to the farmer who found the famous array of clay soldiers on the outskirts of Xi’an, capital of northwest China’s Shaanxi Province.

Conceptual artist, Marian Heyerdahl, has so far created 20 out of 70 replicas of the terra-cotta warriors in female form each of which carries a special message — war is suffering beyond what can be imagined. Heyerdahl hopes to get this message across to people through these statues.
