Terracotta is not a stone. This Latina and Italian word means "baked earth" and is a type of earthenware. It is clay-based unglazed or glazed ceramic.

The terracotta army was commissioned by Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of China.It is a form of funerary art. The army was buried with the emperor when he died to protect him in his afterlife. He died in 210 BC. It is estimated that it has more than 8,000 soldiers, 130 chariots with 520 horses and 150 cavalry horses. It took a great many years to make so many statues.
