Chapter 809 Gilded Statue
This is almost the cheapest thing in this auction. Although it only has a short sentence, there are traps everywhere inside.
First of all, the thing is too small, to put it bluntly, it is the size of a knuckle; secondly, the workmanship is rough and the shape is ugly. The beauty's head takes up one third, and the proportions are seriously out of balance.
The so-called honest knife work means that the carving is poor; the so-called ancient Qin color means serious pollution and even suspicion of fraud; From the photos, it seems that it was only a few decades old at most, and it would not be as old as the Ming Dynasty.
To put it bluntly, the shape and random facial features are roughly polished. The eyebrows are as bulging and thick as the eyes. There are a few traces of beard around the mouth. There are two protrusions in the bun on the top of the head. It seems that the upper body is bare. , the body is also uneven, squatting on one leg, the lower body is more roughly carved, and there seems to be a tail on the butt, which even gives people the feeling of being a man and a beast, which is simply nondescript.
At least that's how it was in the eyes of many people, so when Lin Wanqiu finished reporting the price, not a single person raised a placard.
In terms of craftsmanship alone, this thing is far inferior to Yu Wengzhong's simple and smooth "Han Ba Dao" in the three-piece set of the Han Dynasty to ward off evil spirits collected by Zhou Zhi.
However, Zhou Zhi's heart was beating wildly, and he was shocked as soon as this thing came out.
The two protrusions on the head are because the head has double horns; the eyebrows are as thick as the eyes, because the top two are not eyebrows at all, but another pair of eyes of this thing; the ones on the side of the mouth The strange mark is not a beard at all, but the shape of two fangs; squatting on one leg is a running and grabbing posture; the upper body is like a human, and the lower body is like an animal, that's because this thing is originally a man and a bear!
The patina is new, but the color is so old that no one can believe it - because it can see the Western Zhou Dynasty!
For some unknown reason, Fucheng decided that it was a jade from the Ming Dynasty. Isn’t it questionable to think that a jade from the Ming Dynasty has the color of the Shang and Zhou dynasties? And since it's so small, it's even less worth buying.
"Is any guest interested in this small jade?" Lin Wanqiu asked with a smile: "Although this jade is small, the quality of the jade is quite clear. 'Kneeling Man' is a homonym for 'noble person' , carry it as a small pendant, which means that you will be supported by noble people at any time. The meaning is still very good. Is there a bid? If not, this will be the first unsold item in our auction today... Someone has made a bid. Mr. Zhou on the 5th is willing to bid 2,000 Hong Kong dollars."
Of course not. Many people are muttering that even now this seems like a shilling. We are not that stupid.
Lin Wanqiu didn't waste any time, she didn't even bother to shout once or twice, she just hit the hammer, as if she was afraid that Mr. Zhou would regret it: "Congratulations to Mr. Zhou, for capturing this little jade statue pendant."
She also kept a careful eye on Zhou Zhi's character. She knew very well what Zhou Zhi's character was and would not act randomly just to flatter herself.
Therefore, there may be something fishy about this jade figure. Although it is difficult to ask now, it is more appropriate to quietly eat the four words "Ming Dynasty antique" and change it to "jade small god figure pendant".
"What is that?" Li Lehai asked in a low voice, sitting next to Zhou Zhi in seat No. 6.
“A pendant with a jade carving of a small god figure.” Zhou Zhi had already received the item, relaxed, wiped the sweat from his palms on his trouser legs, and said calmly.
"I believe you are a ghost." Li Lehai looked straight at the person he loved on the stage, but he was keenly aware of Zhou Zhi's actions from the corner of his eye.
This guy is someone who dares to start a class in front of his father and a group of big guys. He has never been so nervous since they met. It is not easy to appoint this little beauty!
"I'll tell you after the auction is over, so as not to affect your mentality." Zhou Zhi said in a low voice.
Everything has a rhythm, including auctions. A few small items have been transitioned, and a new round of small peaks has come.
This time the auction item is an important item of Fuchengxing, a gilt-bronze Guanyin statue from the Ming Dynasty. "The gilt-bronze Guanyin statue of Xuande in the Ming Dynasty is small and exquisite, vivid and peaceful, with a graceful and dignified shape. This Guanyin is simple and exquisite. It has a wide forehead with wisdom, a full face, the sun and moon on its head is covered with a Taoist fairy scarf, and its clothes are thin, close-fitting and three-dimensional. The proportions of the body are correct, the hair is fine and deep, and the necklace is small and clear. Clear, quiet and vivid, free and peaceful."
"This pure gold Guanyin is 36 centimeters high, exquisite and vivid, with its head and body tilted slightly to the right. It was used by the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. One of the important features of the Guanyin statue.”
"The founder of the earliest national Buddhist statue recorded in the literature is Dai Kui of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. He and his son Dai Bo were both good at carving and casting Buddha statues. The works they cast are extremely realistic and lifelike, so they are known as the 'Dai Family Model'."
< br>"Beginning in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the production style of Buddhist statues began to change. From the Northern Wei Dynasty to the The "like" style has developed in the direction of "graceful and luxurious" and is more humane, so there is a saying that "the Bodhisattva is like a palace doll". "
"Since the Yuan Dynasty, the mainstream style of Chinese Buddhist statues has evolved from the Han Dynasty. On the one hand, this was due to the emperor's personal belief in Tibetan Buddhism; on the other hand, the It was also influenced by the ruling policies of the imperial court. "
"The peak period of Tibetan gold and bronze statue production was especially in the Yongle and Xuande periods of the Ming Dynasty and the Kangxi and Qianlong dynasties of the Qing Dynasty. These were made in Han Dynasty. Most of the palace statues of the Ming and Qing Dynasties were made of gilt, with exquisite craftsmanship and magnificent momentum. The gestures are generally dynamic and shocking. While soothing people's hearts, they also highlight the beauty of respect. "
"In addition to being objects of worship, they are also exquisite works of art that bring people a sense of respect. It not only provides psychological comfort, but also provides people with beautiful enjoyment.”
"Gently shaking this Guanyin statue will make a 'rustling' sound, indicating that the statue is divided into two layers, containing a large relic and shaking sand."
"The statue was also used by Emperor Xuande in many places. The anti-counterfeiting treatment, the four-character "Xuande of Ming Dynasty" in Chinese characters at the bottom, and the auspicious cloud patterns are applied at the intersection of dots and strokes, which are very different from the period models of porcelain."
"The above characteristics all illustrate. This one The statue was once a personal tribute to Emperor Xuande. It was kept by the Qing Palace until the end of the Qing Dynasty. It was not among the people until the end of the Qing Dynasty. "
"As a treasure of the original collector Fuchengxing, this statue also participated. It has been held in many important exhibitions and has been passed down in an orderly manner.”
“It is Wanqiu’s honor to host the auction of this precious statue, and it is also the luck of all the guests participating in the auction.”
"According to the advice of Fucheng Hong and our studio experts, the starting price is HK$500,000. Guests can now raise their placards to participate in the bidding."
For a time, countless placards were raised.
"Is this word corrected by You again for Wanqiu?" Li Lehai raised the sign in his hand and asked, no matter where he was.
Zhou Zhi also raised his placard and refused to accept the account: "Don't underestimate Sister Wanqiu's appraisal level."
"I don't know her yet?" Li Lehai raised his placard again: "Before The album was not written in such detail. It was obvious that a lot of the content was only written in the past two days. Does it have anything to do with you?”
"You know I'm a little better at porcelain and calligraphy and painting." The competition was so fierce that Zhou Zhi had to give up raising the placard: "But I took a photo of the features of the bronze statue and sent a fax to Mr. Wang to take a look."
