Chapter 852: Bronze Eagle Ding
Just as Qi Baolin ordered to start the action, Chu Chen was already attracted by the many precious cultural relics in front of him, not only there are all kinds of bronzes, porcelain, jade and other things, but also all kinds of Han Dynasty figurines, among the figurines, the most precious is a Han Dynasty bronze gilt feather figurine.
Feather people, as the name suggests, are people who can fly with long feathers or feather coats, and first appeared in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", called Yumin.
During the Qin and Han dynasties, the atmosphere of becoming immortals prevailed, people longed to cross death and live forever in the paradise of immortals.
Judging from archaeological research, there are many artifacts of the image of the feather people in the Han Dynasty, of course, there are good and bad, and the gilded bronze feather people here in Ma Xionglin are undoubtedly quite exquisite.
This feather man is more than 30 centimeters tall, wears a facial ornament, has a high nose and deep eyes, convex cheeks and wide ears, long horns on the top of the head, and wings on the shoulders. He kneels on his knees and holds square and round objects in his hands.
The artifact held in the hands of the Yu people, Chu Chen is not the first time to see it, but what it represents, the archaeological community has not reached a conclusion. At most, it is guessed that it should be a medicine box, and the medicine is about a kind of elixir and elixir that can make people immortal, such as Ganoderma lucidum fairy grass.
The height of this feather person is already relatively rare, coupled with its vivid shape, gilded throughout, exquisite craftsmanship, and quite well preserved, it can be described as very rare, placed in the museum, it is also a very attractive utensil.
Due to the urgency of time, Chu Chen directly activated his ability after seeing this feather statue. I scanned all the artifacts around me and found hundreds of things around. It's all genuine. But none of the dozens of treasures Ma Xionglin said had been seen.
Seeing Chu Chen frowning. Ma Xionglin hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Chu Shao, don't you like all the things here?" ”
Chu Chen smiled and said, "I like it, I like it, but what about the dozens of treasures you said before, Lao Ma?" I don't see that at this time, you still want to keep a hand for me, right? ”
Ma Xionglin smiled and waved his hand again and again: "How is this possible!" Isn't that all good things are saved for the end? ”
"Cut!" Chu Chen sneered: "You're not afraid that I will not buy these if I see good things!" To tell you the truth, my private museum is already in preparation, and I can eat everything you have here. ”
"Eat them all?" Hearing this, Ma Xionglin was a little dumbfounded. You must know that these cultural relics left behind by him are carefully selected and leftover, although a single may not be worth much, but the lowest value is thirty or forty thousand, and hundreds of pieces add up, that can be hundreds of millions!
Moreover, he still has dozens of treasures, as well as several heavy weapons. All of this adds up, and the funds involved, are already very large for him.
Originally, Ma Xionglin just wanted Chu Chen to eat a few of his treasures. There are one or two heavy weapons, then he can be a rich man with peace of mind. As for the rest, he would love to sell them all. But it's really unrealistic, and he can only wait for him to emigrate. Then process it slowly.
Now, at first glance, Chu Chen said that he wanted to buy all his things. Ma Xionglin wondered if he was hallucinating for a while, and after a while, he calmed down, swallowed his saliva, and asked a little openly: "Chu Shao, but this money ......?"
"What a leopard!" Hu Yong glanced at Ma Xionglin with disdain, and said: "Don't say anything else, Chu Shao also has a jade bonanza in Myanmar, just with this mine, it is a matter of minutes to buy these things of yours!" ”
Chu Chen gave Hu Yong an approving look, and said with a smile: "Old Ma, don't worry, money is not a problem at all, as long as your things are good and the price is right, I will definitely buy them all!" ”
Seeing that Chu Chen didn't look like he was lying to himself, Ma Xionglin's heart also began to heat up, if Chu Chen could buy everything, it would undoubtedly be the best thing for him, and no matter whether Chu Chen painted cakes or not, anyway, he would definitely not see a rabbit or an eagle, and he would not lose anything.
Chu Chen said with a smile: "Old Ma, I've talked about this, don't you want to take out the heavy weapon for me to admire?" ”
"Chu Shao, you have such a great sincerity, what else do I have to be hypocritical!"
Ma Xionglin laughed, and then walked to a wall that didn't look like anything, and pressed it lightly in one place, and then Chu Chen saw that there was another door next to Ma Xionglin, but this door was not an anti-theft door, Ma Xionglin twisted the doorknob slightly, and the door opened.
Seeing this, Chu Chen walked over with some curiosity, and after a while, he saw Ma Xionglin take out an object that looked like an eagle with some difficulty.
When he saw this artifact, Chu Chen was stunned for a moment, because the artifact in front of him seemed to be the eagle tripod collected in the National Museum, the difference was that the eagle tripod was made of pottery, and the artifact in front of him looked like a bronze artifact.
Chu Chen came back to his senses and hurriedly asked, "Old Ma, this should be a bronze tripod, right?" ”
"It should be!" Ma Xionglin scratched his head and said: "As for what it is, I don't know very well, anyway, apart from this, I haven't seen other bronze tripods look like this, but whether it's a tripod or not, I'm sure it's a good thing!" ”
Chu Chen thought so, not to mention anything else, judging from the exquisite ornamentation and lifelike demeanor on the surface of this artifact, it can be seen that it is extraordinary.
Ma Xionglin said with a smile: "Chu Shao, you take a look first, I'll take out this thing!" ”
Chu Chen nodded, at this time his mind was already attracted by this bronze artifact, he squatted down, first measured the height of this bronze tripod with his hand, it was about fifty centimeters, and the Tao Eagle tripod was only thirty-six centimeters, which was another difference.
This tripod looks majestic and majestic. The front chest of the eagle is full and thick, and the mouth is open on the back of the eagle. And there are more than 20 inscriptions engraved on the mouth, and there is no one on the pottery ding.
You must know that from these inscriptions alone, we can not only verify the origin of the bronze and whose tomb it came from, but also have a high research value for the social development and form of the time.
Coupled with the very peculiar form of this bronze tripod, Chu Chen believes that as long as this tripod is born, it will cause a considerable sensation in the collection circles at home and abroad, as well as in the archaeological and academic circles.
Therefore, when he saw this, Chu Chen had already decided that he would have to bring this strange-shaped bronze tripod over no matter what, even if he asked the family to help put pressure, he must get the things.
Besides, he wants this bronze tripod to be used for museum exhibitions, and he has no plans to sell it, he has helped so much this time, I think this request should not be too much!
Chu Chen smiled, and then turned his gaze to the bronze tripod in front of him. I saw that the eagle's eyes were wide open, and the whole body was decorated with cloud and thunder patterns, and it was decorated with animal face patterns, dragon patterns, and phoenix bird patterns, and the beak was in a powerful hook shape.
Judging from the characteristics of the ornamentation, it should be from the late Shang Dynasty, coupled with the characteristics of the inscription, Chu Chen basically concluded that the age of this bronze tripod should be in the late Shang period.
In addition to the ornamentation, the overall structure of this bronze eagle tripod is simple, the sense of volume is very strong, the feet and tail of the eagle are firmly supported on the ground, and the wings of the rear are encircled by the middle and rear of the tripod, forming a kind of forward fluttering momentum, with the big eyes and sharp beak of the eagle's head, so that this eagle appears majestic and majestic, and the momentum is unruly and majestic.
Chu Chen stroked the bronze tripod with both hands, his eyes were full of intoxication, although this bronze tripod is not the most precious compared with his cultural relics, but with its unique shape, exquisite workmanship, and more than 20 inscriptions, it can reflect its extraordinary and precious. At the same time, it also increased his determination to achieve it.
When Lao Ma came out with another thing, Chu Chen said: "Lao Ma, ask a presumptuous question, you also know that I bought things back for exhibition, so I must have an in-depth understanding of this copper tripod, right?" ”
"This ......" At the end of hearing this, Ma Xionglin knew what Chu Chen meant, and he just wanted to ask about the source of this bronze tripod, but this kind of thing is also quite taboo for them. (To be continued......)
