The solemn and stern expressions of the figures reflect the dignity and respect of warriors, and the images are vivid. The clothing, armor, and hairstyles are all realistically depicted. The facial contours and decorative patterns are extremely smooth and natural, conveying a sense of spirit and liveliness, and possess great artistic charm. This reflects the superb craftsmanship and extraordinary artistic imagination of the jade artisans from the Warring States period. It is comparable to the terracotta warriors unearthed in Xian.
