Chapter 1684: Exquisite (2/4)

The person Han Xuan was staring at, his name was Briss, he was a Frenchman, who used to work in the heart of Paris - the Louvre, and was later dug up by the previous director of the Chieftain's Treasure Museum at a high price, and belonged to one of the few Western experts who knew how to identify Chinese antiques.

Hearing the inquiry, he shook his head and told Han Xuan: "Boss, I don't know this for the time being, but the ore definitely contains gold."

When I first got my hands on it, I knew it was definitely a stone from a gold mine, but as time passed, the outside was wrapped in microbial debris, and it was only after scraping it off that I could see the real appearance, which was also proved by X-rays, and there was even a piece of natural gold the size of a thumb nail inside.

This is very much in line with the local character, as gold has also been found in the vicinity of Monterey Bay in the past, and the gold on the walls of the caves and the Chief's Treasure Museum has been mostly obtained from a gold mine more than ten kilometers away.

At that time, they were supposed to use a very traditional, ancient method of gold panning, smashing stones and digging out gold and sand grains from them, which was a very large amount of work in terms of technology at the time.

So my guess is that the box on the outside is probably made locally......"

The reason why he asked this question was because Han Xuan was worried that the contents of the box were also objects they had made after they came to the North American continent, although this was also of historical significance, but compared to bringing it from distant China, it was much less significant.

"Well, what about the other things that were sent?" Han Xuan then asked.

"After sending it over, we have checked it all one by one, and all those antiques are real, and they have been numbered and sent to the warehouse, do you want to see them now?"

Briss appraiser asked.

Han Xuan replied with a smile: "Forget it, I have already appreciated them, just know that they are true, maybe someone should be invited to be an appraiser, it seems that he is indeed very set." ”

I don't know who the little boss is talking about, Briss can't answer this, and he doesn't think he's asking for his opinion, the cutting voice is quite loud, he smiled and didn't speak......

The speed of cutting is not fast, Han Xuan took the time to look around, and felt that this place was quite suitable for Anya, she also studied cultural relics restoration at the Royal College of Art in the United Kingdom, and it is estimated that she can only be regarded as a half-person now, but she likes this industry very much.

The restoration of cultural relics is also an important branch in the field of art, and its significance is to bring the broken, moldy, and damaged works of art back to life through modern restoration technology.

Famous frescoes such as the famous frescoes "The Last Supper", "The Gift of the Goddess", "Genesis", "The Academy of Athens" and many other famous frescoes have been restored to a certain extent in modern times, and they have a long history that cannot be unaffected by time.

Some time ago, Han Xuangang bought a Li Keran landscape painting "Ten Thousand Mountains Red" from Sotheby's auction house, which is placed in a transparent glass cabinet at the moment, and there are still traces of repair, and the museum also has masters who are proficient in restoring Chinese antiques, most of which come from the two Palace Museums on both sides of the strait.

With strong financial support, the Treasures of the Chiefs of California Museum is not the top in scale today, but the technical force is definitely at the forefront of the world, and last year it was necessary to restore Michelangelo's famous mural "Original Sin Expulsion from Paradise", and it was from here that someone was asked to help.

After about half an hour, the piercing cutting sound finally stopped at this moment.

Han Xuan turned his head to look at Curator Lowry and them, and saw Mr. David, the chief cultural relics restorer who had chatted before, put down the cutter and took off the goggles, raised his legs and walked over to ask him, "Okay?" ”

"Almost, there should be a little bit of a place where the two stones are joined together, I'll try to force them apart."

When Mr. David spoke, he found a special tool made of flat metal, stretched it into the gap and scraped it back and forth, making a lot of powder, and under Han Xuan's anxious waiting, more than ten minutes passed.

At this point in time, drowsiness hit, and I found that the housekeeper of Erna dozed off, and he couldn't help but open his mouth wide, and said helplessly: "I knew that before we came, you started, and the time was just right after arriving, it was my fault, I delayed your sleep, sorry."

Mr. Ernner, you don't need to stay here with us, you can go back to sleep first. ”

The old Ernner butler said: "I've been waiting until now, I don't want to miss the opportunity to see the contents in the first place, just wait, it's okay to sleep late once in a while."

The chef is waiting for your notification, it won't take too long to bake the pizza, when will Miss Dolores arrive, I need to inform the chef to bake at the right time. ”

"Oh yes, I almost forgot about her." Han Xuan took out his mobile phone, made a phone call to ask Anya about the landing time, and after saying a few words, he told her that he was in Seventeen Mile Bay, and asked her bodyguards to help drive over.

After a while, Mr. David said to himself: "It's unbelievable, I now believe even more that this is a binder similar to concrete, and thousands of years later, it is still so strong, I am so tired that my back is sweating."

The box is almost sealed, I think it is better to wear a gas mask to prevent inhalation of some tiny substances, although it is very unlikely, but I remember that many ancient tombs and objects in China will add security measures to prevent others from opening them. ”

"That's right! We should be careful. "Mr. Lowry hastily brought gas masks, and some substances that cause minor harm to the human body are often used in the restoration of cultural relics, so the institute is equipped with these things.

Han Xuan had an undeniable attitude, and also chose to wear a gas mask, not afraid of 10,000, just in case, after everything was ready, Mr. David inserted the metal rod into the gap, and used force at different angles to warp the stone box.

When it was all loose, he reached out and removed the lid of the rectangular stone box, and when he heard that it might be dangerous, Gabriel asked Han Xuan to stay away, but he didn't notice anything abnormal at the moment, he walked to Mr. David's side, looked into the box, and this time he could finally see the golden light spots on the stone wall.

This is normal, the tomb is made splendid, how can the box containing important items be so ordinary, it is completely inconsistent with the character of the Chinese people, a few years ago, the gold wire lines on the cave wall were also covered with a thick layer of substance, and it took a long time to clean up.

Inside the box, the object is wrapped in what appears to be an animal skin, with text similar to the inscription on the bronze vessel.

With a solemn expression, Mr. David reached out and took it out, revealing the corner of the bronze hilt......
