Chapter 455: The Final Top Three
By this time, the three of them had finished reading all the antiques.
However, because the authenticity and age of some antiques are still uncertain, now the three of them have returned to the previous few antiques and continue to look at them again.
......
The continuous "identification" made Tang Yun's eyes feel a little tired.
Looking at the time, Tang Yun cheered up again and began to look at the last two antiques.
The penultimate antique, which is not quite the same as the others, is a Buddhist artifact, a Buddha statue.
This Buddha statue is covered in brass and gilt, and the statue presents three sides and eight arms, all three heads wear flower crowns, and the top of the head is tied in a bun.
After careful observation for a while, Tang Yun finally saw that this Buddha statue was the Mother of the Buddha, and its height was about 10.3 centimeters.
Zunsheng Buddha Mother, the god of longevity, and Amitayus Buddha and White Tara together called the "Three Longevity Statues". Practicing the Dharma of Honoring the Mother of the Buddha increases longevity and wisdom, eliminates all sinful karma since the beginningless, and avoids all calamities.
"Not bad...... Tang Yun secretly commented.
The workmanship of this Buddha Mother is still very good, and it is made of brass gilt.
Tang Yun estimated that selling it for tens of thousands of yuan should not be a big problem.
As for its dynasty, Tang Yun guessed that it was either the Qing Dynasty or the Ming Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty would be more likely.
Gather your spirit and "glance" at the Buddha statue.
After retracting his gaze, Tang Yun nodded with satisfaction, his guess was indeed correct!
After writing the answer to the ninth antique on the answer sheet, Tang Yun couldn't help but stretch.
Glancing at the time displayed by the alarm clock on the long table, there were still six minutes left before the end of the answering time.
At this time, the dozen or so contestants on the scene have entered the white-hot stage.
Although some contestants filled in all the answers, they did not seem to be confident in what they had written, and many of them continued to observe while revising the answer sheets from time to time.
Tang Yun looked at the last antique on the long table.
The last piece, also ceramic, is not porcelain, but pottery.
The shape of this piece of pottery is somewhat unique, a white-glazed humanoid, and its height is about 34.5 centimeters.
The humanoid statue, also known as the humanoid pot, is a container specially used to hold liquids.
Judging from the figure shape of this white-glazed humanoid, it is somewhat similar to the nomadic people in the ancient northwest, commonly known as the "Hu people".
Judging from the characteristics of the white glaze, the humanoid statue and the Hu people, Tang Yun guessed that the age of this white glazed Hu human-shaped statue should be relatively early, and it is even very likely to be between the Han Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty.
Because white glaze first appeared in the Han Dynasty, more than 400 years later than blue-glazed porcelain, and the human-shaped statue was more popular in the Sui and Tang dynasties.
If it was a choice between the Han Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty, Tang Yun felt that the Tang Dynasty was the most likely!
However, as for this white-glazed beard figure, is it real or fake?
In fact, Tang Yun's heart was not very clear. After all, this was the first time he had seen white-glazed porcelain, and it was also the first time he had seen a statue of a humanoid.
Glancing at the time on the alarm clock, Tang Yun took a deep breath, there were still about three minutes left, and now there was only one last antique left.
Gathering his spirit, Tang Yun's eyes were tightly "looking" at this white-glazed bearded human-shaped statue.
After "looking" for about a minute, Tang Yun took his gaze back.
I guessed right just now, the age of this white-glazed beard figure is indeed relatively old.
Writing the answer to the last antique on the answer sheet, Tang Yun suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.
For Tang Yun, the matter of "seeing" antiques is too eye-consuming, and it is even more troublesome than "looking" at gambling stones, after all, you have to calculate its age.
"Jingle Jingle Bell~"
With an alarm clock, the allotted time of thirty minutes is finally over!
The host put away the answer sheets in the hands of the sixteen contestants on the stage, and handed them to several judges, and then signaled the contestants to go down and rest for a while, and after the judges have reviewed all the answer sheets of the sixteen contestants, the final results of today's antique competition will be announced.
"Tang Yun, how did you answer?"
When he stepped off the stage, Lin Ningning looked at Tang Yun and asked, "I always feel that I don't have enough time, and I don't know how many questions I answered correctly......
After speaking, Lin Ningning couldn't help but sigh softly.
"Hehe, I don't know how many ...... I got right"
Tang Yun said with a smile: "The time is only half an hour, and it will indeed feel a little difficult, but I hope I am lucky and can answer a few more correctly!"
"Hehe~"
Hearing Tang Yun praying for luck, Dong Dacheng passed by him and couldn't help but sneer.
Obviously, Dong Dacheng was very disdainful of Tang Yun's statement.
Although he also felt that the time was a little tight, he was still very confident in his judgment.
"Since these two people can't do it, then I can at least get the top three, right?" Dong Dacheng thought happily.
Seeing her younger brother like this, Dong Weiwei couldn't help but smile bitterly, and then smiled apologetically at Tang Yun and the others.
Tang Yun didn't care much about this.
He was just being modest, after all, humility makes people progress......
After a break of about ten minutes offstage, the host suddenly walked to the center of the stage, held the microphone in his hand, and said to the sixteen contestants in the audience.
"Next, we will announce the final situation of this year's antique competition! Next, invite the sixteen contestants to come to the stage in turn......"
It was finally about to be revealed, Tang Yun got up from his seat, and then stretched again.
The antique competition held in this town is indeed smaller in terms of scale.
However, the atmosphere of the game was good, at least the number of people who came to watch the game was quite large, and the park was almost full of people.
As the sixteen contestants walked up to the stage and stood on both sides of the stage, as one of the judges of this competition, Gao Yongchang suddenly walked to the center of the stage and took over the microphone from the host.
Clearing his throat slightly, Gao Yongchang raised the microphone, and at the same time looked at the card in his hand and said: "Next, I will announce the top three players of this antique competition......"
The sixteen contestants on the stage suddenly raised their throats.
Finally shaking the result, many people secretly clenched their fists, and at the same time there was a hint of nervousness on their faces.
And the audience, who had been waiting for a long time, also looked up at the stage at this time.
"I don't know if Ning Ning can win the top three again this time......"
Li Feifei looked at the stage with blank eyes and muttered in her mouth.
"Hehe, Xiao Tang and Ning Ning are both very powerful, I think it should be no problem!" Liu Tianxiong said with a smile.
