[QUOTE="John Conduitt, post: 5466113, member: 109923"]I agree the designs could be more exciting, particularly for somewhere with such a long, interesting history. But having one or two isn't dull - they're very different from anything else I have. Some of them are pretty big and impressive too. This one is purportedly from the time of Qin Shi Huang, the founder of the Qin dynasty and the first Emperor of a unified China. He took mercury pills in the belief they would give him immortality, with inevitable results. He's the one buried with rivers of mercury and 6,000 terracotta warriors.
