A hoof wraps around a woman's leg in Satyr and Nymph, a work made from this material in the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm by Clodion. This material was used to create women with flying drapery and dramatic facial expressions in the Santa Maria della Vita by Niccolo dell'Arca. The International Exposition of 1878 was a high-water mark for demand for works made from this material from Tanagra.  Another work in this medium is a frontal depiction of a goddess surrounded by two owls; the goddesses' three talons rest on lions and the piece is often called the Burney Relief. Vasari describes how white and colored tin was added to this material to create lunettes by Luca della Robbia.  Along with wax, Bernini used it for bozzetti or sketches, and a larger number of figures made from this material were found in 1974 in Xi'an. For 10 points, name this material used to create hundreds of warriors buried with Emperor Shi Huangdi.
