At the slightest opportunity and even in the coldest, darkest gloomy place... life always arises.
Part of the Terracotta Army exhibition at the Field Museum, Chicago, Illinois. There were over 5,000 Terracotta figurines, each hand-crafted. One of the wonders of the modern world.
A more classic pose for this female Wandering Ringtail, captured on a background of glazed terracotta pot.
A fairy light strung across Peel Street, caught against the warm colours of sandstone and terracotta of the building across Currie Street.

Found these guys taking a summer holiday in New Zealand. They had been and will go back to be protecting the first Qin emperor in China and were tall at nearly 2 m and very lifelike despite being about 2300 years old and up to 300 kg in weight. I hope your New Year has started well.
Bagha Mosque (Bengali: বাঘা মসজিদ) is a mosque located at Bagha, 40 kilometres (25 mi) southeast of Rajshahi in Bangladesh. The mosque was built in 1523-1524 (930 AH) by Sultan Nusrat Shah, son of Alauddin Shah, the founder of the Husain Shahi dynasty. Later, the mosque was renovated at different times and when the domes of the mosque collapsed, the destroyed mosque was rebuilt in 1897.
The masonry of Bagha Mosque is made of lime and surki (powdered brick). There are arches and pillars inside and outside the mosque. There are also innumerable terracotta handicrafts which include mango, lily flowers, herbs and thousands of other handicrafts used in the Persian carving industry. Besides, there is a shrine of Shahdaula and his five companions on the north side of the mosque premises.

The terracotta warriors are in Virginia for a visit. To promote the exhibit, the Virginia Museum of Fina Arts has publicly placed imitation terracotta warriors like this one throughout the state.
.. an old way to make pots, and an old plant-pot of mine. Cracked, but still I keep it - so much more interesting in every way than the plastic pots of today!
OK the ivy is in a small plastic pot inside the cracked terracotta ... but hey! ☺
For the Crazy Tuesday topic "something old"
and for HBW too!

erhaps the most interesting restoration at the Terracotta Army UNESCO Heritage Site in Xian China. Horses, driver and carriage.
Built by Emperor Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of a unified China, the buried terracotta army lay undiscovered for over 2200 years. Construction of this mausoleum began in 246 BCE and the project eventually involved 700,000 conscripted workers. As of the date I made this image, four main pits approximately 7 metres (23 ft) deep have been excavated. The main pit (Pit 1) is about the size of a football field (230 metres (750 ft) long and 62 metres (203 ft) wide). It contains the main army of more than 6,000 life-size clay (terracotta) figures (soldiers, horses, wagons). Originally they were all coloured, decorated and equipped with real weapons.
Most of the soldiers were reduced to rubble through vandalism and a large fire a few years after the death of Qin. Since the discovery of the site in 1974, China has been actively working to reconstruct and preserve the Terracotta Army (see several of the previously posted images in this set).
