Ornamental Earth Exactly 40 years ago, the 7,000 strong Terracotta Army was discovered in Xi'an, China. The figurines, which were made around the third century BC, withstood the ravages of time for over 2,000 years.

The incredible durability of this form of baked clay has led to its enduring versatility all over the world. In India, terracotta is seeing a revival of sorts, in the form offashionablejewellery.

Dhivya Ravisanker, an engineering graduate, is one among the many young people who have taken to making terracotta jewellery with a passion. Ravisanker buys the terracotta clay from Bangalore, moulds and carves them into various shapes and dries and bakes the pieces, before finally painting them in vibrant colours. She takes orders from all over India and conducts classes during the week.
