Chapter 147: A Coffin

Li Dingan remained silent: "As long as the thing is real, the price is easy to say!" ”

Section Chief Xu's eyes suddenly lit up: "That's a good feeling...... I happened to take an afternoon off, so I can take Boss Li to have a look...... It's not far away, it's right at home! ”

Li Dingan nodded: "That's fine." ”

Seeing this, Section Chief Xu called Boss Zhang aside again, presumably paying a commission.

Zheng Wanjiu glanced at it, and then came to Li Ding'an's side, sneakily: "Teacher Li, is there anything good?" ”

"Probably...... Anyway, the odds are not small! ”

Because whether it is in the deed or on the list, there are the three things that Section Chief Xu just said, and the one he is holding in his arms, so the probability is really big.

It's just the feeling...... It's so easy.

Just like this Mahara, it can survive until now, and it can still be picked up by itself, which can no longer be explained by "luck...... You know, Section Chief Xu's ancestor is a collector of historical books, and he has such a valuable thing at home, so he didn't give an explanation to his children and grandchildren?

Of course, there is a specialization in the art industry, and it may be that these two are only obsessed with ancient books and education, and they have little research on gold and silver ritual vessels, and it is possible that they can't recognize the pink rice pattern.

But as an intermediary of the end of the square, the probability of not being recognized is infinitely close to zero: this person specializes in researching this, in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, especially in the collection of gold, stone, silver, bronze and ritual vessels, he is recognized as a grandmaster-level figure, and almost everything in his collection is a national treasure.

So, it's incredible to be able to leave this one out......

Turning their minds, the two of them finished talking, and Boss Zhang simply closed the door of the store, saying that he wanted to follow to increase his knowledge.

Then four people and two cars, drove for about half an hour, and entered a high-end community by the Qiantang River.

The house is quite big, at least two hundred square meters, and the family is the lover of Section Chief Xu. After a brief hello, Section Chief Xu led them to the study.

Good guys, a one-man safe tall?

This is the second time I have seen something like this, the last time was at an auction in Shanghai.

It is estimated that it is very important, first with the key to open, then to enter the password, and finally to press the fingerprint...... It took a few minutes for Section Chief Xu to open the cabinet door and make another gesture of please

Li Ding'an opened his eyes wide and took a look, but after only a few glances, his heart couldn't stop sinking.

Section Chief Xu didn't lie, it was indeed a copper car, a silver box, and a gilt box, all of which were quite large.

The problem is, it's a bit different from what he imagined.

For example, the car, Section Chief Xu said that it was a copper car, and Li Dingan thought it was the kind of bronze carriage unearthed in Xi'an. Before he came, he imagined that not to mention the six chariots of the Son of Heaven like the jade chariot, at least it should be the four chariots or elephant chariots of the prince or prince.

But the car in front of me, not to mention the horse, didn't even have a wheel, it was just a chariot.

Of course, in the Song Dynasty, there were also foot chariots, which were also one of the emperor's vehicles. But this thing in the safe is too rough, and it's still a four-way thing:

For example, the four-legged, the head of the tiger's claw is only available on the emperor's chariot after Qianlong. Another example is the luan bell (a bell in the mouth of the phoenix) and the jianyan (flagpole with a pawn handle), which can only be found on the elephant chariot (four carriages) of the prince of the Song Dynasty, and cannot appear on the chariot.

To put it bluntly, this is an imitation, and it is nondescript, and the time will not exceed Qianlong at the earliest. Think about it again: Nine times out of ten, after the Qing Dynasty, some people imitated ancient books and rumors to fool the layman.

Sure enough, what people are playing now is the rest of the old ancestors......

He sighed and turned to look at the second.

This is a silver box, not very large, only 30 centimeters horizontally and vertically, and only 10 centimeters thick, that is, a flat box. I don't know what to pretend to, most of the four sides are hammered and engraved patterns, and it looks very bright and fancy.

But after a glance, he didn't want to speak.

There are too many flower prints, and too miscellaneous, I can't wait to hammer all the auspicious patterns that can be thought of, in addition, there are a few wisps of gold inlaid ornaments on the lid of the box, and the screw technology that only existed in the Ming and Qing dynasties was used.

The workmanship is just average, so even if it is an old object, it is something that comes out of a small workshop. In short, not much value.

And looking at the style, it is very likely that it is the same batch of things as Bu Yuan. So, it's a coincidence......

I just don't know, what about the rest of the piece.

It is also a box, but it is relatively large, about 80 centimeters long, 60 centimeters wide, and 40 centimeters high. The whole is made of copper, with a straight arch and a pattern on all five sides.

There is also a lock on the front, which is probably used to hold gold and silver treasures. Cover the box cover, the box is covered with patina, try it, it is quite heavy, there should be about eighty or ninety pounds.

Like the silver box, the patterns and ornaments are quite mixed: the lid is a gilt lotus, the front is an engraved picture of a man lying on his side, and the back is an old man with a long beard.

On the left is a lion, and on the right is a general in armor.

There are peach leaf patterns and cloud thunder patterns at the bottom and all around, the craftsmanship is quite good, at least the patterns are more neat, and the characters are more vivid.

It's uncertain whether it's from the Song Dynasty, and it's hard to say whether it's dug up from the emperor's tomb, but it looks at least much more pleasing to the eye than the silver box and the copper car.

Li Ding'an suddenly became interested and looked at it seriously.

This brass lock is a bit new, like it was added later...... The back buckle is also ......

Also imitation?

And there seems to be more than that:

The man has more than a dozen points on his head, which feels a little weird......

The peach leaf pattern at the bottom is a bit long and a little pointy, and the peach leaf pattern is rarely equipped with cloud and thunder patterns......

Look closely...... This seems to be a cicada pattern?

It's a cicada pattern, but it's a deformed cicada pattern, which is relatively rare and not very easy to recognize......

Thinking of the cicada pattern, Li Ding'an felt even more wrong...... Because this ornamentation is rarely printed on things used by living people, the most common are ritual vessels and funerary goods......

Funerary goods?

As if a flash of inspiration, he turned his head sharply: the point on the head of the sleeping man was clearly a pimple...... I'll go, Buddha Nirvana?

The lotus flower on the lid of the box is naturally the lotus of the pure world in Buddhism......

You don't need to look at it at all, the one opposite the Buddha is definitely the Southern Dipper Star Monarch born in Taoism......

Looking at the head and tail of the box, needless to say, the lion is the protector beast of Buddhism, not to mention the general wearing armor and holding the sword, it must be the Marshal of the early Taoist protector god......

Seeing this, Li Ding'an can no longer express his feelings in words, because he has never seen the cultural relics that put the immortals of Taoism and Buddhism together?

However, the elements representing reincarnation, rebirth, immortality, and immortality in various ancient cultures have been brought to life?

Therefore, if it weren't for the coffin, Li Dingan dared to pick it up and chew it.

Nothing to hesitate about......

The thought flashed slightly, he put his hand on it, and then, his heart couldn't stop beating: Sure enough!

And it's the same thing as the red gold puppet that Zheng Wanjiu is holding for him now?

National treasure!
