Terracotta is a clay-based ceramic, fired at relatively low temperatures, widely used in sculpture and pottery.[1]
History[edit | edit source]
In China, a collection of terracotta warrior sculptures were buried with Qin Shi Huang featuring realistic depictions in many different poses: standing, kneeling, operating vehicles, and even watching their surroundings.[2]
In the early 16th century, the Ottoman Brotherhood of Assassins in Constantinople used terracotta in their impact bomb casing,[3] 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.[4]
