After more than 600 years of long time, even the spices that can play an antiseptic role have rotted and carbonized, but fortunately, the gold and silver will not rot, otherwise it would be really laughable to give Zhang Nan a "Medieval Edition of King Solomon's Treasure".

This cheesy, tyrant-like cup was sent up, and after getting rid of a few large pieces of rotten wooden boards that were almost broken at the slightest touch, Zhang Nan took out a big and brilliant cross from the mud and broken wood residue!

It's not a small object to hang around your neck, it's pretty much the same on your shoulders.

Big enough, heavy enough, luxurious enough!

It is a bud-shaped cross, about half a meter long and 35 centimeters wide.

The front of the cross is inlaid with hundreds of gems of various colors, and a small number of inlay holes are empty, Zhang Nan and the others guessed that these places are unlikely to have been cut off the original inlaid gems, and the reason for the emptiness should be that the original inlay is pearls.

There are a lot of medieval pearls that have been preserved in a relatively dry environment today, but this basement decomposed and disappeared after the rainwater infiltrated the castle after the castle burned down.

On the back of this huge gold jewel cross is a bas-relief of the crucifixion of Sugo, with clear lines and high carving workmanship.

After reading both sides, it is clear that the appearance of Sugo on the back of the cross rather than on the front of the cross led Jerry Goodencowan to judge that the cross belonged to a secular king, at least not in some cathedral.

At that time, this type of cross had a religious practical purpose, and when the kings went to the cathedral for Mass, it would be held up at the front of the procession, rather than the object that was originally in the cathedral.

I'll have to take a moment to study these patterns on the front, and one of the features of this type of king's cross is that there is no crucifixion on the front, but some symbol of the monarch, and the crucifixion is placed on the back..."

If you want to know who this treasure belonged to in the first place, you can count on this cross for the time being—there may be a mark or secret mark of a certain king on it, which needs to be carefully studied.

Jerry said this, and the big cross weighing more than ten catties was handed to him directly by Zhang Nan: "When the time comes, study it slowly." ”

Zhang Nan was not interested in this at all.

Continuing to clean up, he quickly dug up a large rectangular "gold jewelry plate" - a Su Ge in the middle, plus four squares separated by gem inlays, each with a gem-inlaid "gem flower" and two gold relief angel images.

The four sides of the gold plate are more exaggerated, and the dense three-layer gem-inlaid composition makes people look a little densely phobic!

"What's that?"

Zhang Nan didn't know him.

Jerry took it and looked at both the front and back, and then said, "This is the cover of a medieval scripture, and the book is rotten, so this is all left." ”

"Oh. ”

After saying a word, put it in the frame on the side, and that's it.

Jerry is not surprised by this, Zhang Nan's temper is too familiar to him, and the boss of such an item is not interested in taking a few more looks.

A few small pieces of gold and small gem-inlaid accessories were found, perhaps originally part of a body ornament, but the main body such as leather or cloth was long gone.

With these little things in place, it's up to Jerry to sort out what it was in the future: if it's a leather belt, it may or may not be particularly beautiful after restoration.

The cleanup continued, there were fewer and fewer things, and Zhang Nan was not very interested, they were just some mundane things, until a very special gold plate appeared.

It's really a big plate, with a diameter of about 30 centimeters and a weight of at least seven or eight kilograms.

The interior of the plate is divided into four layers from the inside to the outside, and in the middle is actually a three-dimensional statue of a person sitting and standing, holding a wine glass, wearing a Western classical robe, and the height of this deep plate is about 12 centimeters.

There is a ring around the figure, and 20 high-relief ancient Greek mythological figures are surrounded by a ring outside the ring, and then the outer circle is a double layer of flower branches, and the outermost circle is decorated with a circle of small round gold beads.

It's really heavy, and this plate is not beaten, but first cast in one piece and then refined, and Jerry judged that it should be a workmanship around the 10th century.

There are a small number of traces of use on it, and it is obvious that it was probably an important thing for the owner, but it is not a piece of furnishings that will only be put on the shelf, and it should have a certain practical function.

It's like that cross, and there are very few times a year when it's carried to church.

Now Zhang Nan feels more satisfied - the plate is good, and he can take it back as an ornament this time, which is rare to imitate ancient Greek art in the Middle Ages.

Besides, it's not bad to smash people with such a sturdy gold plate!

......

Gradually, the basement was almost covered with mud, and finally a box was revealed in the corner that had not decayed.

Gray-black, more than 20 centimeters wide, about 123 centimeters wide, the height is the same as the width, it is silver.

"Boss, there may be valuables in it, be careful. ”

Zhang Nan nodded, and slowly moved it, it was a little heavy, but it was not dead, and the items contained in it were not particularly heavy.

"Take it up and open it again?"

Hearing Zhang Nan's question, Jerry Goodencowen hurriedly said, "This is the safest." ”

After removing this chest, the basement is almost completely cleaned, and there are at most a few small gems left that might be scattered.

Zhang Nan doesn't have to worry about the next things, and there is no need to close it with a boulder, just cover it with a large piece of plastic sheeting first: Jerry won't leave the castle construction site for the time being, and he will take a good look at it when he has time.

He carefully returned to the ground with the silver box in his hand, and the cleaning time was just less than four hours.

High speed and high efficiency.

Seeing that Guan Xingquan was not far away with a few people installing ground penetrating radar, the equipment was only delivered in the afternoon, and there was still a lot of work before it got dark, so he simply probed it first.

Put the silver box in the sink and wash off the mud on it with water, which will replace the reservoir and gloves.

After a closer look, the box was opened with hidden fan blades, and he brought it into the shed and placed it on a table, and Jerry took out a set of small tools.

Brought from the United States, it was only the previous boss who used the craftsmanship of what was said to be a tomb robber, but the set of tools he prepared was not used: he had to be responsible for cleaning the joints of the hidden fan blades on the back of the silver box that were oxidized and rusted together, while Zhang Nan was cutting a few bamboo chopsticks that the workers were eating.

Charlize Theron, who saw this situation and spent half a day of gold coins, asked Charlize Theron, who would come to join in the fun again, "What is this for?"

"Used to open the box. ”

Open the silver box with oxidized surface Zhang Nan has experience, and he has done it in 86 years.

The girl was waiting on the side, watching what Zhang Nan would do, and she wanted to know what was inside the silver box - people, they were all curious.

A mundane thing in the basement, I don't know what will be in this silver box, I don't know if I can give some surprises.
