Freitag | 18.00 Uhr | Qin Shihuangdi and his Acrobat Figurines A Comparative Archaeological Approach Prof. Dr. Armin Selbitschka, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, Institut für Sinologie Not too long ago, the so-called “acrobat” figurines yielded by Pit 9901 (K9901) at the First Emperor’s (Qin Shihuangdi) funerary park became somewhat (in)famous. One scholar argued that these particular sculptures were not only influenced by Hellenistic art, but produced by Greek artisans in the Qin capital Xianyang. Such bold claims naturally sparked lively discussions. However, the majority of arguments do not address the archaeological material itself; rather, they are enmeshed in fairly fruitless speculations on Early Chinese cross-cultural contacts.
