One of the highrank military figures recently unearthed from the No.1 pit of the Qin Terracotta Warriors, is that known as “The General”. The researchers found that the figure faced complex issues:the painted layers had peeled of a large area of mud attachment, part of the painted layer had settled on the surrounding earth, and the earthen body layer is relatively thick and has severe cracking and deformation problems. There is urgent need for conservation. Facing all the problems, the coloring layers and experimented with paint layer reattachment on a small spot first were analyzed. After a successful test, larger pieces found on the surrounding earth were reattached and satisfactory results were achieved. The results provide a useful reference for reattachment of painted layers to relics.
