Life-Size Terracotta Warrior Outside S’pore Condo Unit Leaves Netizens Split

“The food delivery can be hung on its hand,” read a comment

But others were less amused, saying that they were uncomfortable with the statue, saying that terracotta warriors are traditionally burial artifacts.

“As a person from Xi’an, I’m absolutely shocked. I’ve seen several instances in Singapore where huge terracotta warriors are used as decoration in bars and restaurants,” read a comment.

However, some countered that it shouldn’t be an issue as it was probably a replica and not robbed from Qin Shi Huang’s tomb.

A netizen who claimed to be Malaysian Chinese wrote that rather than a burial artifact, the terracotta warrior could also be seen as a sort of guardian.

For the record, real terracotta warriors are priceless national treasures, illegal to sell or own.  

A quick check online shows replicas going for around S$300 to S$8,888 on Carousel.
