A visitor points at a terracotta warrior sculpture by Norwegian artist Marian Heyerdahl at a gallery in Beijing in this March 2, 2007 file photo. From the back, this army of contemporary terracotta warriors looks as forbidding as the ancient battalion that was buried with a warring Chinese emperor to lead in the afterlife. But these all-female soldiers, created by Norwegian artist Marian Heyerdahl and on display in Beijing, carry a completely different message than the famed, original Qin dynasty statues with their pained faces, pregnant bellies and mutilated bodies.
