On the desk, there is a crutch lying quietly, to be precise, it should be a black lacquered dragon head ivory carving crutch!

Ivory carving crutches are not uncommon in the history of ivory carving!

It is also interesting to say that in the history of Eastern and Western civilizations, in addition to practical significance, crutches have a symbol of power!

Therefore, it is good that antiques such as crutches do not appear, and when they appear, as long as they are not fakes, most of them are very expensive.

Yu Sheng'an reached out and picked up the crutches, and between the touches, the truth can be passively triggered!

In an instant, he finally understood why this ivory carving caused controversy!

He didn't say the answer immediately, since Yang Lao had the heart to cultivate, he should behave well.

Yu Sheng'an raised the black lacquer ivory carving crutch, and in the eyes of everyone, he said: "The first time I saw this ivory carving, my first reaction was that this was most likely an ivory carving, after all, such a large piece, and only a few kinds of ivory corners such as ivory could be made." ”

"However, if it's ivory, this cane is too long, I guess it's more than a meter, right? Mammoth tusks are so long, the problem is that they are curved? Even if it is modern ivory, it may not be easy to straighten it. ”

"So I guess it's going to be a patchwork? I took a look, and the engraving line here is very smooth, and there are no traces of splicing at all, so the splicing may be very small, of course, this may be covered by black paint. ”

"However, in my eyesight, this possibility is very small, so I ruled out the option of splicing, so that naturally I can also rule out the possibility of rhino horn, bull horn and the like."

Yu Sheng'an analyzed this, and many people nodded approvingly.

Yu Sheng'an took a breath, looked at it carefully, and said, "As soon as I came, you told me that this was an ivory carving, could this be a deliberate dig for me?" Such a large object, and not spliced out, if it is a ivory carving, it is too incredible, so it will not be a bone carving, right? ”

As soon as he said this, the boss of the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea Mammoth Tooth Carving, that is, the shopkeeper of the goatee man Liu, slapped his thigh: "Look, what did I say?" I said, this is definitely a bone carving, it can't be a ivory carving! What animal has such long teeth? Who has the ability to straighten the ivory? Or is this the ancient rhombodon? ”

The ancient rhomboid is the largest elephant ever built on Earth, and it lives in the same era as mammoths, and its teeth are relatively straight! However, few have been excavated, and the few found are fossils.

"Lao Liu, don't squeak, don't disturb other people's thoughts." Wang De said in a low voice.

Shopkeeper Liu came back to his senses at this time, and the apologetic Chongyang Lao smiled and sat down.

Seeing this, Yu Sheng'an continued: "Mr. Yang once asked me a question, and he said, 'If the angle of the tooth is too thick, how can you tell it?' ’”

I couldn't answer, he told me that if I want to learn from roadside vendors, I have enough experience to weigh melons and fruits, and the same is true for the corners of my teeth! The crutch was painted black, just like the thick pulp. ”

When Yu Sheng'an said this, many people looked at Xiang Yang Lao and thought, the relationship between these two is really not ordinary!

This is clearly a master-apprentice training!

This Yang Lao is also really, no wonder he reprimanded Mr. Wang not to ask "which one", the feeling is to avoid suspicion?

Yang Lao's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he thought, this kid is interesting, this is learning and selling now?

"Just now Shopkeeper Liu said, this is mostly a bone carving, I guess it may also be a bone carving, but I weighed it and found that it was wrong, the weight of this bone carving is obviously wrong, this crutch is too light."

Yu Sheng'an's last sentence made many people confused.

"Generally speaking, the ivory carving is relatively heavy, and the bone carving is hollow, so it is secondary, and again, what is this?" Yu Sheng'an asked and answered himself.

yes, what's lighter?

Everyone was also puzzled.

Xin Ye and Fei Hong looked at each other, Wo Nima, if Yu Sheng'an's analysis is good, this ivory carving is really weird?

"Could it be fake? Is it plastic? Otherwise, why do you put on black paint? "The rest of my life.

As soon as these words came out, many people's faces changed slightly.

Xin Ye clapped his hands and said excitedly: "Yes, it must be plastic, and the black paint is to cover up the characteristics of plastic!" ”

Wang Dedao: "Mr. Yu, so your judgment is that this is a plastic fake?" ”

At this moment, a trace of disappointment flashed in Yang Lao's eyes, he still overestimated this young man after all.

However, it is understandable that it is already very good to be able to analyze this step at such a young age.

never thought about it, but Yu Shengan said decisively: "No, it's not plastic." ”

The crowd was stunned again.

Yu Sheng'an said with a smile: "I have only heard of plastic inverted molds, but I have never heard of plastic carving, even if it is a machine wiring, this is not right, the artificial carving traces of this crutch are very obvious." ”

"In addition, the texture of plastic spray paint is different from this crutch, this spray paint texture is definitely not plastic, it is ivory carving or bone carving."

"And what the hell is it?" Wang De became more and more curious.

Don't talk about him, everyone present is like a cat scratching in their hearts.

Yu Sheng'an took a breath: "It's not splicing, it's not ivory carving, it's not bone carving, it's not plastic, is it not like four?" ”

"Haha, just kidding! Since the texture of this spray paint must be a tooth carving bone carving, it means that there is a problem with my previous speculation, and it is certain that the feature of relatively light weight is absolutely correct. ”

This shows that this crutch is hollow. And most of the hollow ones are bone carvings, isn't it some kind of whalebone? ”

In the means of ivory counterfeiting, in addition to the low-level counterfeiting of resin and plastic, the high-end point is to knead with bone meal, which can even imitate the texture of ivory vividly, and some veterans may deceive the past.

There is also the search for substitutes, such as walrus tusks, whalebone, hippopotamus teeth, wild boar teeth, etc.

"But the whalebone is also wrong, this cane is very beautifully carved and straight, which is very difficult to achieve with a rough whalebone." Yu Sheng'an said again.

"And what is this?"

"Mr. Yu, do you have an answer to say it directly? I'm going to die of curiosity. ”

"Yes, if you can't analyze it, let's hurry up and see Yang Lao's answer, this is about to become a suspense scene!"

The people around couldn't bear it anymore and hurriedly asked.

Seeing this, Yu Sheng'an knew that it was almost over, he nodded and said, "I thought about it and found that there was only one possibility......"

He paused, and said loudly, "This is a horned whale tooth!" ”

When the sound fell, the scene was quiet at first, and countless people looked at each other.

Immediately, it was like a boulder thrown into the lake, setting off a stormy roll.

The scene suddenly boiled.

"A horned whale tooth? What is it? ”

"yes, I didn't think of that!"

"When Mr. Yu said this, it's really possible!"

Laymen have asked, what is a horned whale?

The expert beat his chest and sighed why he didn't expect it!

"Yang Lao, what is your answer?"

At this time, it was the boss of the Shengyu Auction House who reacted first and asked about Yang Laolai.

Yang Lao pointed to the white paper on the table, signaling that he could uncover it.

Seeing this, Wang De hurriedly reached out and took the blank paper.

The noisy scene also quieted down, and everyone looked at Wang De, or rather, the blank paper in his hand.

Wang De opened the white paper, his eyebrows jumped slightly, he pursed his lips, glanced at the people around him, and said, "Yang Lao's answer is ......"
