A collection of terracotta warrior sculptures was buried with [[China|Chinese]] emperor [[Qin Shi Huang]], featuring realistic depictions in many different poses: standing, kneeling, operating vehicles, and even watching their surroundings.<ref>''[[Discover Ancient China]]'': Terracotta Warriors</ref>

In the early 16th century, the [[Ottoman Brotherhood of Assassins]] in [[Constantinople]] used terracotta in their [[impact bomb casing]],<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]]'' – [[Database: Impact Shell]]</ref> taking advantage of the material's brittleness for quick deployment of the finished bomb's ingredient effect as it would explode upon collision with any type of surface.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]]''</ref>
