Chapter 117: Lantian Jade Dading
After hearing that Zhang Botong had already found out the situation in the second room, Zhang Zhongliang was the first to squeeze into the second room. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
There was also a thick pile of dust on the ground in the second room, so the first person to leave footprints was Zhang Zhongliang.
"There's no sign of anything coming here." Zhang Botong really couldn't stand this younger brother's obsession with the elixir of life, and if the humanoid Tai Sui could walk around on his own, he would definitely leave marks on the thick dust at this time.
However, Zhang Zhongliang couldn't take care of the evidence, so he rushed into the second room and began to look around.
The large utensils in the secondary room filled almost the entire room, like a small warehouse.
The dust is thick, but it can't hide the appearance and shape of the large utensils, and the outline is still distinct.
Ding is the largest of them, as well as Cong, Bi and some utensils that are difficult to name today.
In my impression, these things should be made of different materials, Ding, especially the larger size, are generally cast in bronze, such as Cong and Bi are generally made of jade, but these things have a common feature, the body is larger, in addition to Ding, other jade products I have not seen such a large Cong and Bi in front of me.
Curiosity drove me to the edge of the big ding, raised my hand to wipe the dust on the belly of the ding, and finally the true face of the big ding, which had been sealed for thousands of years, was shown to the giants for the first time.
"Ahh
I was really surprised, surprised by the material of the big ding, the flashlight light hit the place where the dust had just been wiped off on the belly of the big ding, I couldn't even believe it, blinked my eyes, and the other hand continued to wipe off the dust, so that the exposed part of the area was larger, but there was no doubt that what I saw was real, not dazzling.
The color is blue and white, and the light transmittance is not low, even the thickness of the abdominal wall of Dading is not thin, and my strong flashlight can actually pass through the abdominal wall of Dading, illuminating the belly of Dading.
"What?" The pangolin approached, frowned and stared at Da Ding, moved away from the flashlight I was holding and facing the wall of the tripod, and took the flashlight to watch from a distance.
The distant flashlight light hits the big tripod wall, the material of the tripod is easier to distinguish, the blue and white irregular tripod wall, obviously not the color of bronze, and the tripod wall is polished brightly, the direct light of the flashlight will also reflect the luminosity, and there is a special luster on the surface, only jade has a luster.
In fact, there will be a green patina after the bronze is rusted, but it will definitely not be as green as we see.
"It's not cast in bronze, it's made of jade!" Zhang Botong was also surprised.
Jade utensils are not uncommon, and there have always been masters who use jade to carve all kinds of utensils, but if you carve the big tripod in front of us, it is actually very difficult.
The difficulty is that this kind of large jade material is difficult to find, and secondly, a large amount of raw materials are wasted, and they are cut off by a knife, especially in the past, pure hand-carved, without the assistance of modern equipment, many jade materials need to be cut off little by little.
"It's Lantian jade." The pangolin was surprised and curious at the same time, such a huge jade object is really rare, if it is carved from a single piece of jade, then this big tripod can be said to be a priceless treasure.
The pangolin didn't say a word, touched the dust on the big ding with his bare hands, and his hands were together, and even the flashlight in his hand was temporarily thrown aside.
Compared with the bronze tripod we see outside, this tripod is only waist-high, but it is carved with Lantian jade, so the attention is naturally a lot larger, everyone gathered in front of the tripod, all for the pangolin palm lamp that wiped the dust.
Even Zhang Zhongliang, who was bent on finding the humanoid Tai Sui, set his sights on Lantian Yuding's side, and even walked towards this side.
As for Cong and Bi, it is not surprising that they are made of jade, after all, this kind of object has always been made of jade, only the big Ding has never seen it.
After a while, the pangolin finally cleaned up the jade tripod, only the place in the belly of the tripod that could not be reached was still covered with dust, and in other places, even the dust on the three tripod feet was wiped away.
"Ha, that's a treasure." Pangolins are engaged in collecting and selling, and they have always been interested in valuable things, of course, they have seen a lot of high-value things in other places in the underground palace, but there are too many, and there are many that cannot be taken away, and among so many treasures, this jade tripod is very special.
Everyone turned on the flashlight, and several beams of light hit the Lantian jade ding.
"This tripod is carved from imitation bronze." There are many animal patterns carved on the jade tripod, and there are even three-dimensional animal shapes on the ears and feet, but these are all images that have appeared on the bronze tripod and other bronze utensils.
"Perhaps, but jade came before bronze appeared." Zhang Botong frowned and stared at Yuding.
Under the beam of light, the abdominal wall of the tripod is full of light, directly penetrating into the tripod belly, although the beast pattern is still carved on the tripod wall, but in fact, the thickness is quite thin, it is estimated that only two to three centimeters, it can be said that the production has been quite powerful.
"If there is a result of the generational break, then there is an answer to this question." As a senior collector, Pangolin has always liked to talk about evidence, and it is also evidence that can provide a reference price for antiquities.
"Please." Zhang Botong was actually polite, unlike when he held a gun at us before, he actually asked the pangolin to break the Yuding dynasty first.
The pangolin smiled, not polite, and groped on the big ding with a flashlight, after thousands of years, there will naturally be pulp on the antiquities, but here is not close to the water or the soil, the color is difficult to form, and the pulp and the color are important bases for determining the age of jade.
"From the perspective of pulp, it is thick and heavy, and it cannot be formed without thousands of years." Pangolin commented while watching.
Zhang Botong was not standing by waiting for the results, he was also observing Yuding, and when he heard the pangolin's comments, he also said: "It's a pity that the color has not been formed, otherwise it would be easier to judge the age." ”
In addition to the pulp and color, it is also possible to judge the age of the antiquities through the vessel type, decorative animal patterns and production technology.
"It's all nonsense, this underground palace has been sealed for more than 2,000 years, and no traces of theft have been found so far, and everything in it is thousands of years old." Hearing the words of the pangolin, Lao K couldn't help but laugh at him.
But Lao K is right, the words of the pangolin are indeed nonsense.
"Don't worry, the dating is piled up one by one, take your time, this work is more difficult than an article." As the pangolin spoke, he immediately took out an essay to plug Old K's mouth, and he couldn't help but look at me as he spoke.
I spread my hands out to indicate that I wasn't going to speak, and the pangolin stopped.
The development of the tripod has a long history, from the soil firing to the bronze casting, the bronze casting has developed to quite mature, the decorative patterns are diverse, the animal pattern is typical, and the jade tripod in front of the eyes also appears in the three-dimensional animal image decoration, rare.
