Significant uses of
terra cotta have
included Emperor Qin Shi
Huang's Terracotta Army
of China, built in
210–209 BC. Mass
producers of mold-cast
and fired terra cotta
figurines were also the
ancient Greeks of
Tanagra. French sculptor
Albert-Ernest
Carrier-Belleuse made
many terra cotta pieces,
but possibly the most
famous is The Abduction
of Hippodameia depicting
the Greek mythological
scene of a centaur
kidnapping Hippodameia
on her wedding day
