Which is more realistic: a life-size figure with an individualized face, whose body is not represented under its clothing (as the Qin army), or a half life-size figure with a generic face but moveable, perhaps poseable arms and dressed in real clothing? (26/n)

And could the difference have been thought to matter to the figurines’ efficacy? Later Han tombs tend to return to the use of miniatures, often toylike in scale, including figures but also farm animals, granaries, wells, stoves, looms, farm equipment, and architectural models (27/n)
