Colour your warrior
Terracotta warriors high tea
The original vibrant colours of the two-thousand-year-old Chinese Terracotta Warriors were lost almost as soon as the transparent lacquer protecting them was exposed to the air in 1974.
Lost colours
While archaeologists and scientists continue to develop techniques for the protection of ancient pigments on as yet unearthed artefacts, simply imagining lost colours is a pleasure anyone can experience.
Edible history
So, we loved this inspired celebration of the Terracotta Warriors, currently exhibiting at Melbourne’s National Gallery of Victoria where colour, food and history come together.
