ANST - Terracotta Sculpture

[marsha.greene at mpan.com]

If you are in the Houston area in the future, you may want to check out a
tourist site in Katy. (just west of Houston) .  "The Forbidden Garden"   is
a reproduction of a Chinese garden in the Orient, with stone statuaries of
soldiers (I believe they are terracotta), that I believe are on the line of
what 'wolf was noting from the Kimbell museum.  I have not been there
myself yet, but everyone who has says its fabulous.   Each soldier is
unique in face and form.    I have ordered a brocure from them today, and
will advise of times and hours if wanted.    Hillary

'wolf said:
"Chinese i think ... if not mistaken he's speaking of the army of life-size
terra cotta soldiers set to guard the tomb (went to see an exhibit at the
Kimbell several years back from that tomb including quite a few of the
warrior
statues ...)"
