Terracotta Army (funerary sculptures associated with alleged curses)

Origin: The objects in question are the life-sized terracotta warriors, horses, chariots, and attendant figures created as funerary sculptures for the tomb complex of Qin Shi Huang (late 3rd century BCE) near present-day Xi'an in Shaanxi province. The supplied source classifies these funerary sculptures among a list of items 'said to be cursed.' Curse history and ownership chain: The primary historical ownership originates with Qin Shi Huang (the First Emperor of Qin), for whom the tomb and associated funerary goods were made. In modern times the site and sculptures have been under the custody and management of Chinese archaeological authorities and museum institutions since their discovery and excavation beginning in 1974. The single tertiary source provided (a Wikipedia list) places the Terracotta Army among allegedly cursed objects but does not provide provenance details beyond standard archaeological custodianship nor any documented curse origin narrative. Reported phenomena and limitations: The supplied source is a tertiary compilation and does not contain detailed or primary accounts of paranormal events, illnesses, deaths, apparitions, or other concrete phenomena connected to the Terracotta Army. Therefore no specific supernatural incidents can be substantiated from the provided material; the only verifiable claim in the source is that the Terracotta Army appears on a list of objects 'said to be cursed.' Any further narratives about who cursed the objects, when, or by what ritual are not present in the supplied excerpt and are therefore unverified in this entry.
