Chapter 257: Different Paths to the Same End
From Song Yao's words, it is not difficult to see that she has a good evaluation of this Buddha statue, and it seems that this Buddha statue is a Buddha statue cast in the palace during the Yongle period. It's just that Xue Laodu hasn't spoken yet, and she only took a general look, and she didn't dare to make a conclusion about it, so she only said some possible opinions.
"Hmm." Xue Lao nodded, seeing that Song Yao didn't mean to continue, he didn't continue to ask, nor did he make an evaluation, but turned to look at Gu Ming and said, "Tell me your opinion." ”
Gu Ming glanced back at the Buddha statue that seemed to be very lazy and casual, and then looked up at Xue Lao Dao: "I don't know much about the Buddha statue, but I can still see some things from some of its craftsmanship." This Buddha statue of Sakyamuni bronze gilt Buddha statue seems to be carved and molded by the ancient model method, and then poured with the traditional lost wax method to complete the back cover of the triple mud. Its shape is simple and dignified, the knife work is sharp and round, the pulp is thick and natural, and the body is rich and elegant. The whole body is decorated smoothly and elegantly, and all of them are engraved by the process, which is indeed not an imitation made in modern times. ”
Mr. Liu heard that Song Yao and Gu Ming had given a certain amount of affirmation to this gilded bronze Buddha statue, and he couldn't help but show some smiles on his face: "The two young ladies are right, and the people who have come to see this Buddha statue before have also said these things." ”
"So this is indeed a Buddha statue made by the court of the Ming Dynasty?" Xue Lao asked.
Mr. Liu didn't have a very positive answer this time, and he hesitated a little and said: "The answer I got to this question is not the same, some people say that it was cast by the court of the Ming Dynasty, and some people directly say that this is an imitation, and I am not sure." For this reason, I have been able to find someone to entrust the relationship. After some time, go to the capital to find an expert in this area to see the situation. ”
Xue Lao nodded, indicating that he understood.
Song Yao and Gu Ming glanced at each other, and both of them seemed to have something to say.
"What do you want to say?" Xue Lao saw the movements of the two people, so he asked out loud.
Song Yao took the lead in stepping forward and said: "This Buddha statue does look like a Buddha statue cast in the court during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, but the posture of this Buddha statue is different from other Buddha statues on the market, and I have seen a Buddha statue in this posture for the first time, so I ...... it."
She didn't finish her words, but she could still make people understand what she meant.
As soon as Song Yao's words came out, the smile on Mr. Liu's face couldn't help but restrain a little. However, he didn't show any dissatisfaction, just looked at Song Yao quietly.
"What do you have to say?" Xue Lao looked at Gu Ming again.
Gu Ming pondered for a while, and then spoke: "My opinion and Song Yao's opinion are a little different, the style of the Buddha statues in the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty was originally more than that in the Xuande period, and there are occasionally some uncommon ones that are not strange. It's just that most of the Buddha statues cast in the court during the Yongle period were used to appease and envelop the Western/Tibetan, Mongolian/ancient regions. It is a kind of rectification consideration, as far as all the Buddha statues on the market are concerned, the Buddha statues cast in the palace are still sitting in a proper and decent posture. There are still a lot of more formal ones. And...... I think there's something wrong with that. ”
Song Yao and Gu Ming spoke one after another, although the focus was different, they both expressed doubts about whether the Buddha statue belonged to the palace production, and Gu Ming even raised questions.
Mr. Liu heard this. The smile that had faded a lot was even lighter.
To know. In recent years, the Buddha statue collection is very popular, the Buddha statue of the Ming and Qing dynasties is sought after by many people, but the most popular of them is the Buddha statue cast in the palace, although there is no lack of fine Buddha statues, but after all, the palace Buddha statue has more historical and cultural meaning, and its invisible value is much higher.
This intangible value of a plus, perhaps the same size, the same production process of the Buddha statue, in the price will be a big fluctuation change, if it is a gift from the imperial court to the West/Tibet and other places. That's even more valuable.
Xue Lao listened to Gu Ming and Song Yao's words, but still didn't say anything, but glanced at Gu Ming a little more.
At this time, Song Yao noticed Xue Lao's movements. She couldn't help but glance at Gu Ming not far away, and then looked at the Buddha statue again. I thought back to the inscription of the Buddha statue again, and I didn't notice anything wrong.
"Professor Xue, I don't know what you think of this Buddha statue?" Mr. Liu was originally quite calm, but because of Gu Ming and Song Yao's words, he was a little shaken, and at this time, seeing that Xue Lao still didn't mean to take the initiative to speak, he could only ask first.
Xue Lao did not avoid Mr. Liu's question now, and pointed to the Buddha statue and said: "From the perspective of the material, production process, and pulp of this Buddha statue, it is indeed not a modern imitation, on the whole, it is indeed a Buddha statue cast in the Ming Dynasty, which is basically no problem." ”
"Professor Xue has a high opinion." When Mr. Liu saw that the Buddha statue had been affirmed by Xue Lao, the smile on his face became more and more, and the whole person became a lot more relaxed.
Although he didn't know the status of Xue Lao, in the appraisal industry, generally speaking, the more experienced the appraiser, the more convincing, and this experience was naturally inseparable from age.
Compared with Song Yao and Gu Ming, Mr. Liu is more inclined to believe the answers given by Xue Lao, both from the supervisor and objectively.
"But ......" Xue Lao didn't wait for Mr. Liu to finish being happy, and continued: "In my opinion, this Buddha statue does not belong to the Ming Dynasty court casting, but belongs to the fine products of folk casting. ”
Gu Ming's eyes lit up when she heard Xue Lao's answer, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly, and although Song Yao also had some doubts about this in her heart, after all, she hadn't made up her mind yet, and when she heard Xue Lao's affirmative statement, coupled with inadvertently glancing at the corners of Gu Ming's slightly upturned mouth, an indescribable feeling surged in her heart.
It's just that Song Yao is very good at controlling her emotions, and before anyone notices what she is thinking, she has already suppressed that indescribable feeling, and stared at Xue Lao seriously, wanting to see what Xue Lao will say next.
Relatively speaking, Mr. Liu was not as calm as Song Yao and Gu Ming, and when he heard that Xue Lao denied the statement that the Buddha statue belonged to the palace casting, he couldn't help but say anxiously: "Professor Xue, this Buddha statue is obviously the style of the court casting during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, and it also has a sense of style, why did it become a folk boutique?" ”
When Mr. Xue heard Mr. Liu's rebuttal, he didn't rush to explain, but took a few steps forward and came to the front of the Buddha statue, and then stretched out his hand to the place where the money was dropped and gently stroked back and forth.
When everyone saw Xue Lao's movements, they didn't need Xue Lao to remind them, and they also followed very consciously, gathered around Xue Lao, and watched Xue Lao's movements of touching the style.
"This style, it seems that there is no problem, it is indeed the style used by the court to cast Buddha statues during the Yongle period, but it does not belong to this Buddha statue." Xue Lao said softly.
As soon as Xue Lao said this, Gu Ming and Song Yao were of course the first to react, splicing fake antiques is not a rare method, and there are many fakes made by this method on the market.
Xue ...... Professor, this style doesn't look like a modern patchwork. Song Yao wondered.
"It's really not a modern patchwork." Xue Lao sighed slightly, and continued: "As far as I guess, this Buddha statue was originally an imitation, and it is not an imitation that appeared in modern times. Not counting whether it is all in modern times, the Buddha statues cast in the palace are basically higher than the collection value of the folk Buddha statues, and some people who have some ideas, it is very likely that they can not find the palace Buddha statues in the case of finding such a Buddha statue in the Ming Dynasty court Buddha statue very similar, grafted on the real court Buddha statue on the recognition. Just like Gu Ming said just now, the wind of Buddha statues in the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty was diverse, even if there are some Buddha statues that are somewhat different from the common ones, they will not necessarily arouse the suspicion of others, and may even be more precious because of its rare shape. ”
Song Yao obviously didn't think about this problem, and couldn't help but be amazed at this time, after all, this Buddha statue itself looks like a high-quality product, and this deliberately added a palace payment, it is suspected of counterfeiting, and even destroys the integrity of the Buddha statue itself, completely giving people the feeling of taking off their pants and farting.
Xue Lao ignored Song Yao's surprise and turned to look at Gu Ming: "Why do you think there is a problem with this knowledge?" ”
Gu Ming perked up and looked at Xue Lao Dao: "I didn't notice it before, but when I carefully touched the Buddha statue, I felt that there was a problem." Just like Professor Xue said, there is no problem with the individual style itself, whether it is from the written font or the appearance of the arrangement is all the palace Buddha statues in the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, but the things spliced together are always spliced no matter what, and you can feel some slight differences when you touch them carefully with your hands, and if you rub them hard with your fingers, the color of the joint will be a little different, and the more you look at it, the more uncomfortable it feels. ”
"Hmm." Xue Lao nodded, still a little surprised that Gu Ming was able to notice this slight difference, and the focus was not on this when he judged that the style was spliced together, but the size of the place.
After all, the Buddha statue cast by the folk according to the style of the court Buddha statue is not a real palace Buddha statue, and it is not too blatant to be so generous in the Ming Dynasty.
This deliberately spliced collection of knowledge occupies a vacant space, and if you look closely, it makes people feel more or less peacekeeping.
Of course, it is definitely not something that ordinary appraisers can feel, but it is necessary to have really seen a large number of cultural relics of the same type to feel this keenly.
This Gu Ming ...... The sense of acuity is pretty good.
