Professor Jeremy Patrich, (The Backyard Geographer) welcomes you to another exciting episode from Out of The Collection! He has been diligently cleaning up in his garage and is very excited to share some of the items he is rediscovering from inside his private collection. Being an eclectic collector for most of his life, you just never know what to expect.

Fun Fact: The figures, dating from approximately the late third century BCE, were discovered in 1974 by local farmers in Lintong County, outside Xi'an, Shaanxi, China. The figures vary in height according to their roles, with the tallest being the generals. The figures include warriors, chariots, and horses. Estimates from 2007 were that the three pits containing the Terracotta Army held more than 8,000 soldiers, 130 chariots with 520 horses, and 150 cavalry horses, the majority of which remained buried in the pits near Qin Shi Huang's mausoleum. Other terracotta non-military figures were found in other pits, including officials, acrobats, strongmen, and musicians.
