In contrast to the previously unearthed terracotta warriors that are either sitting or standing, a figure in a rarely seen position made its public debut last weekend after being restored in Xi’an, Northwest China’s Shaanxi Province.

The No. 28 figure was given the temporary name “supine figure” and was unveiled at a ceremony coinciding with China’s Cultural and Natural Heritage Day on June 11 at Emperor Qinshihuang’s Mausoleum Site Museum.

The figure is kneeling on the ground and leaning backwards to its back that touches the ground. It was discovered in a severely damaged state.
