Handmade with silk canvas over a wooden frame, this model captures a piece of military history and celebrates the fighter plane that eventually brought down Germany's most feared pilot, the Red Baron. There are only seven original Sopwith Camels still in existence, on display at aviation museums in such diverse places as Little Rock, Arkansas, and Krakow, Poland.

Bronze Terra Cotta Warriors
Twenty-five years ago, farmers in China's north-central Shannxi Province made an extraordinary discovery. While drilling for a well, they inadvertently unearthed more than 7,000 unique terra cotta figures from the 3rd century B.C. This massive army—warriors, chariots, horses, officials, acrobats, strongmen, and musicians—was part of the extensive necropolis of emperor Qin Shihuangdi. Only a fraction of the site has ever been excavated.
These cast-bronze warriors are reproductions of actual statues unearthed at the site. Handmade by artisans in a small workshop, they capture the individual detail of the originals in a handsome piece of artwork.
In 1974, farmers in the north-central Shaanxi Province discovered the vast burial chamber of 3rd century Chinese Emperor Qin Shihuangdi. It contained more than 7,000 life-size terra cotta warriors, an incredible feat of craftsmanship and one of the most remarkable archaeological discoveries of the past 100 years.
These tabletop figures are accurate miniature replicas of a general, soldier, archer, and horse excavated at the site. Made in China from hand-carved molds, their rustic finish evokes the centuries-old appearance of the army that remains amassed at the burial site.fashioninn4us.blogspot.com
