The lid and the box are carved with patterns on all sides, and there are figures on them, which is a scene of several people drinking and having fun, such patterns rarely appear on the previously found medieval gold and silver objects According to Jerry Gooden's judgment, this silver box was probably made in the 11th or 12th century, and it is the craftsmanship of Italy, most likely the craftsmanship of the Republic of Venice.

After Zhang Nan cut a few bamboo wedges here, Jerry has also cleaned up the exposed position of the hidden fan blades, and it is up to Zhang Nan below.

First try to open the box with your hands and slowly add force, but the lid does not move!

You can't use brute force, lest the silver box fly out: I already felt something in the box just now, and it was still not fixed, and it would not be beautiful if it flew out too hard.

If brute force doesn't work, you have to use skill.

"Mark, protect the box on the table and don't let it move. ”

After Zhang Nan finished speaking, he took the small bamboo wedge and small hammer placed on the side.

When the big man who had been standing on the side heard this, he took two steps forward and glanced at the table a few times, probably judging how firm it was, and then knelt down on one knee.

It's too tall and this posture is just right.

Knowing the boss's intentions, the two big fan-like hands pressed the silver box, not straight down, but horizontally downward, this time it is difficult to move the box in his hands!

Without losing strength, Mark can still be regarded as a natural giant, although he is a little shorter than his younger brother, but he is stronger!

The bamboo wedges were knocked into the gap between the lid and the body of the box one by one, and when the fifth one was knocked, Mark, who was holding the silver box, said, "Boss, it seems to be loose." ”

Stopping here, the big fan-like hand also moved away, Zhang Nan tried the lid, and it was loose.

Then slowly and vigorously try to open it...

It's on!

When I opened it, I saw that the box was originally divided into six equal grids with wood chips and charred fabric, but only three of the grids were relatively complete, and the other three had collapsed.

There is a cup in each compartment, so you can feel a slight collision with each other when you carry it just now.

Viewed from above, the cups appear to be carved out of some kind of green jade, with a ring of gold trimming around the rim of the mouth.

The angle is a problem so that you can't see the side of the cup.

"What cup?"

The question that everyone has: what kind of cup needs to be packed in a finely crafted silver box?

However, Zhang Nan was not in a hurry, and always felt that these cups were a bit extraordinary.

"Let's take a few pictures first. ”

I have doubts in my heart, I haven't heard that the Europeans before the middle of the Middle Ages used jade to process into utensils, jade products, in ancient times, it was the East, and it can even be said that it is the patent of the Chinese.

Jerry usually takes pictures, this camera is still a camera with an automatic motor, and he took almost twenty photos in one breath, and the flash caused by the flash made a few people on the side a little dazzled.

The characteristics of professional cameras in the film era are that the automatic motor is so fierce: in order to continuously shoot the movement of athletes, people shoot still objects with a knife to kill chickens.

Taking photos and watching the excitement purely by a group of people were either dazzling or deliberately avoiding flashes, only Zhang Nan, who had been staring, frowned!

He saw something unbelievable, but he didn't see it clearly, because his eyes were a little shaky.

After opening the box, the image archive materials were available, Zhang Nan changed into white gloves, and after temporarily laying a large towel on the table, he took out a cup from the silver box very carefully.

The cup is not large, it is a goblet, the diameter of the mouth edge is only 6 centimeters and zero, the mouth edge is inlaid with a narrow circle of engraved gold decoration, and the bottom of the cup is also wrapped with a low leaf, trunk and branch gold base.

In the middle part is a very natural color of dark green slightly transparent cup, smooth on the inside, with a deep relief on the outside, and the pattern is a well-composed grape vine with a strong red-naked-bearded man in the grape vine.

The cups are made with great skill, especially the carving of the body of the cup, which is extremely artistic, and it still gives a very smooth and oily feeling when it reappears in the sun after more than 600 years underground.

"It's not a medieval thing, boss, look at the shapes and patterns, this should be a product of the ancient Roman period..."

It was Jerry who spoke, and with a bit of surprise, "... This should be glass!"

Glass, there was glass in ancient Rome, and a silver box in a medieval treasure trove contained precious glass-inlaid gold cups from ancient Rome, which is not a fantasy.

Medieval kings and nobles would also pursue these precious works of art from the "ancient period", such as the Song Dynasty of China, which was about the same time as this silver box, and the bronzes of the pre-Qin period were highly admired, and even imitated them on a large scale.

But this cup is at least medieval, and even a product of the Roman era, as Jerry said, when glass was not cheap!

If it was in ancient Rome, then this cup would be sky-high, not to mention that there are superb deep reliefs on this glass, and in some places it is even open-carved on the surface, and it is very well polished!

Zhang Nan took the wine glass in his hand and watched it for a while, then carefully placed it on the towel, and then asked the girl who put her head on her neck to watch.

"Charlie, what color did you say this cup was?"

Everyone was stunned, and Chariz Theron was even more inexplicably asked.

"Brother, I'm not colorblind. ”

There was a breath in his tone: You are teasing me!

"Green?"

Zhang Nan continued to ask.

Charlie looked at Zhang Nan like a fool, and Guan Xingquan on the side was also a little confused about the situation: this is a goblet with a gold and green cup, and everyone is not color blind.

In particular, Guan Xingquan, Lin Ming and Andre are more confident: the army recruits will have a physical examination, not to mention the driver's license test, the red-green color blindness test is also very strict, and the driving can't distinguish the traffic light, then it's okay!

Zhang Nan got the answer he wanted from everyone's reactions, took out a small standard daylight color temperature flashlight from his pocket, pressed the tail switch of the flashlight, and said very poorly: "You are all wrong, it is not green." ”

Hold the flashlight in your backhand and move it behind the cup, and then with your backhand, the light shines on the goblet, and...

"Wow, my God!"

This is Charlie.

"Oh, my God!

This is Jerry.

"it!"

This is Lin Ming.

"What's going on!"

This is Mark...

Except for the two of Guan Xingquan and Andre, whose neural circuits are different, everyone else makes sounds of surprise, incredible, and even alive!

With Zhang Nan's movements, in addition to those grape branches, character hair, and limbs in the middle of the goblet, the entire cup body actually turned into a bright red with translucent light!

Not only that, but the torso part of the human body relief on the cup body presents a very beautiful light purple red: as soon as the light shines, the green cup turns red, and everyone knows that the flashlight that Zhang Nan carries with him is a standard white light.

Everyone was still surprised, and Jerry suddenly reacted in amazement, "Boss, this is the Lekergos Cup!"

This is the legendary Roman Ryquegus Cup, a priceless treasure of ancient Roman times!"
