Effort to repair artifact after broken thumb

It's time to attend to an injured Terracotta Warrior.

Experts from the cultural relics authority of Northwest China's Shaanxi province met with the staff of the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, last week to discuss compensation for and restoration of a 2,200-year-old Terracotta Warrior, whose thumb was broken off by a visitor at the museum last year.

Wu Haiyun, project manager at the Shaanxi Cultural Heritage Promotion Center, told China Central Television, or CCTV, that the Shaanxi cultural relics authority dispatched two experts to the United States to restore the statue.
