I heard about these recently. I think it would be quite a scene. I majored in history and get a big kick out of things like this. It really must be a surreal experience. Can you imagine being part of the group making them? Each one is different…. Wow. You lucky girl!
yes, it must have been amazing making these. You are a slave, working 20 hours a day making pottery to protect one man, only for the work to be looted and burned 5 years later…
i love the way it looks more than anything. a real army, but down scale…..
for some reason sex has no place in this context (only for TBK)
Also, the emperor tended to kill (bury alive) those who knew too many of his secrets. It’s must have been a delicate balance between career ambition and self-preservation in that scene.
“Hi Honey, I’m home. Guess what, I got a promotion today from the emperor–I promise that this will be the LAST one.”
