Terracotta figurines reveal athletic culture in ancient China

Warrior figurine, from the Western Jin Dynasty (AD 266 - 316), unearthed in 2005, housed in the Luoyang Museum. The production technique during that time was simple and unadorned, but the facial expression is quite lively. Does it look like an athlete throwing a javelin? [Photo by Zhang Xiaoli/Asianewsphoto]
