(ECNS)—A green-faced terracotta warrior with black hair and black beard, went on exhibition at Shaanxi History Museum on Oct. 14.

The warrior was discovered in 1999 in the second pit of the tomb of Emperor Qin Shihuang, the first emperor of China in the Qin Dynasty (221-206 BC). 

Archaeologists were surprised to find the warrior, who has black hair and eyes and is squatting and shooting an arrow. Like the others he was crafted more than 2,000 years ago.
