Next, the moderator briefly introduced the rules.

The rules are simple, put on the lot, observe, and then start the auction. Before the hammer is fully asked, and finally the hammer is sold, everyone has a sign in their hands, and the card means that the bid is higher than that of the previous person, and the price is quoted at the same time, and the minimum price increase is 1,000 US dollars. However, if you do not make an offer, you will be asked to pay $10,000 more than the previous bidder.

You can check out the bill immediately after the auction, and you can take the items back to your seat by yourself, and the organizer can also keep them on your behalf. However, the auction is not over, and no one is allowed to leave. Moreover, those who win the lot, and those who find nothing, do not end up leaving through an exit, but let the one who wins the lot go out first.

There is no doubt that these measures are designed to ensure security.

In this kind of auction, there is no album at all, and I don't know what is in advance, so I come up and auction one by one. If it weren't for Wang Zhennan's many eyes and ears and getting the news in advance, he wouldn't have known that there was a set of Twelve Flower God Cups.

At the same time, although they were not allowed to go out during the auction, there were still people coming in. Because of the early rescheduling, many people were caught off guard and came late.

The auction began. Tang Yi didn't expect that the first lot surprised him!

This is a gilded bronze statue of Tibetan Buddhism.

The bronze statue wears a flower crown and a bead on the top. From the physiognomy point of view, the square circle reveals solemnity, the eyebrows and eyes are slender, the nose is high and the lips are thin, there is a slight feeling of looking down, the earlobes are huge, and the hanging ear bells hang down to the shoulders. The chest is full, the waist is delicate, the arms are long, and the palms are beautiful. Wearing a long skirt with both armbands and anklets, the left leg is crossed on the lotus base with a double girdle, and the right foot is in the lotus.

This is a standard statue of Green Tara!

As mentioned before, Tantric Buddha statues originated in Nepal and were widely manufactured in the Central Plains during the Ming and Qing dynasties. It was the most in the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty.

Green Tara is the incarnation of Guanyin Bodhisattva in Tibetan Buddha statues, and it is also the most widely spread and most worshipped one. Of course, this Buddha statue is gilded, and there is no "green" to see. The reason why it is called Green Tara, there is a saying, because in the portrait, the whole body of Green Tara wearing a bodhisattva costume is emerald green, which is the color of the Tibetan Buddhist Division, and it is also the color of the Buddha who is not empty.

The reserve price for this Buddha statue is $100,000.

At the beginning of the observation time, Tang Yi stepped forward in surprise, and after careful observation, he found that this statue was a typical statue style in the Yongle period, but on the lotus base, it was engraved with the paragraph of "Xuande Year of the Ming Dynasty".

Of course, Tang Yi is clear about this, during the Yongxuan period, the statue style was fixed, but the Xuande model was less than the Yongle model.

The gold color is perfect, gorgeous and fine. Tang Yizhen didn't expect that in this antique black market, the first lot would be so high-grade!

Such a gilded bronze statue of Green Tara has been auctioned for about $800,000 to $1,000,000. According to the psychology of ordinary people, as long as less than half, that is, four or five hundred thousand US dollars, is auctioned, it is considered a leak!

However, to Tang Yi's surprise, there were not many people who came up to see this gilded statue of Green Tara!

After listening to the discussions of the people around him, Tang Yi understood. This Myanmar is a Buddhist country, and it is not very far from Nepal, there are many ancient Buddha statues in these two countries, and people who come to Myanmar are much less interested in Chinese Buddha statues.

This is just one of the reasons. There is another important reason, that is, there are too many gilded Buddha statues in the Yongxuan period of Huaxia, and there are many fake things. This gilded bronze statue of Green Tara is too perfectly preserved, the so-called extreme thing must be reversed, so perfect that many people are suspicious, wondering if it is a high imitation.

In addition, I don't know what the organizers think, put this statue in the first auction, it will be even more difficult for someone to bid a high price.

In the end, Tang Yi actually auctioned this gilded Buddha statue of Green Tara at a low price of 230,000 US dollars.

"I didn't expect you to be the first to strike!" Wang Zhennan smiled at Tang Yi, who came back with a Buddha statue.

"How did the organizers do it, and they didn't give a box." Tang Yi said helplessly.

"There were cotton bags when I left, in fact, most of them were kept by the organizer first, but you hugged them back!" Wang Zhen South Interface.

Tang Yi smiled, "Holding the Buddha in my hand, my heart is much more steady!" ”

As the two were talking, the second lot was an ancient Indian jewelry, which Tang Yi and Wang Zhennan were not interested in.

At this time, a tall and thin old man hurriedly walked in, and it seemed that he was late.

Tang Yi turned his head and saw that it was Fei Lao! Turning his head, Fei Lao also saw Tang Yi, nodded slightly to say hello, and was about to sit down, when he suddenly saw the gilded green Tara held in Tang Yi's arms, he was stunned for a moment, his lips were open, he didn't know what to say, as if he was a little lost.

In the end, at the suggestion of the person next to him, Fei Lao sat down slowly, but still glanced at the Buddha statue in Tang Yi's hand from time to time.

The lots are varied, sometimes fast and sometimes slow. Wang Zhennan concentrated on waiting for the Twelve Flowers God Cup, Tang Yi went up a few times, but he encountered two fakes, and there was a plum bottle that was glazed from the Qianlong kiln, but it was reglued after it was broken, and Tang Yi was reluctant to make a move.

Before you know it, it's the middle of the night, and the host announces that everyone should take a break, and the bathroom is on one side of the basement, and there are coffee and refreshments on the long table on the other side.

After serving a cup of coffee, Wen Jia smiled at Tang Yi and said, "I said, I'm afraid this auction will have to be tossed overnight, you better let the Buddha statue be kept by the family first, it doesn't look like a few of us hugging it back and forth like this." ”

Tang Yi's heat also passed, "Okay." ”

When he walked to the service desk with the Buddha statue in his arms, Fei Lao suddenly stopped Tang Yi, "Mr. Xiao Tang, can you let me see this Xuande Green Tara." ”

When Tang Yi heard this, he was secretly taken aback, what a good eyesight!

You must know that before the auction, there was no introduction to this Buddha statue, and even if there were, Fei Lao couldn't hear it, he was late. The key is that when Tang Yi was holding it, he could only see the Buddha statue clearly, and he couldn't see the "Ming Xuande Nianshi" at all, and the style of the Buddha statue was fixed in the Yongxuan period, and he could shout "Xuande Green Tara" in one mouth, which really requires excellent eyesight!

"Fei Lao, please take a look." Tang Yi was embarrassed to refuse and handed the Buddha statue to Fei Lao.

Fei Lao seemed to be very excited, and after taking it, he looked up and down carefully, and muttered, "It's this, it's this, it's a pity, I'm late!" ”

"Fei Lao, what's wrong with you?" Tang Yi answered, feeling a little uncomfortable.

"I came to receive the news in advance that there is a Xuande Green Tara to be auctioned. When I saw it today, it was really right, and I can't hide it, this Green Tara was once my father's old collection! Fei Lao lowered his voice, but with a tremble.

After Tang Yi heard this, he felt even more uncomfortable, what is this! I've just finished getting hot, do you still want to take it from me?
