High-ranking officer

This is one of seven "generals" found in the terracotta pits. The height, clothing and headgear of this officer all indicate his high rank. He wears double-layered robes under colorful fish-scaled armor, and a high headgear tied with ribbons under the chin.

His shoes have square openings and upward-bending tips. There are eight knots made of ribbons to decorate the armor, three knots on the front plate, three on the back and one knot on each shoulder.
