Chapter 85 Jade Belt Hook
The other people at the scene were not all blind people, but there were still a few who knew what was going on.
In addition to Lin Yuan and the others, there were other Chinese people present! Foreigners can't see Tang Sancai, haven't the Chinese themselves heard of it?
They looked at Lin Yuan in surprise and started talking.
Everyone else knew about this discussion.
In an instant, those people looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes, and their eyes widened in shock, including An Zhui and Mi Gen who had suffered a big loss before.
"FUCK", "mygod" and other sounds were heard throughout the scene.
Who would have thought that a salvaged container would contain a national treasure of China.
That kid is really lucky.
The person who almost got the shot just now was so angry that his face turned green. He stomped his feet and covered his head with both hands in remorse, and his intestines turned blue.
Why don’t you persist and persevere!
They checked that this kind of Chinese art could fetch millions of dollars in their Western auctions.
Even millions of dollars.
Millions of dollars! Just say goodbye to yourself so calmly.
People who were preparing for the next container auction immediately gathered around to see the strangeness, excitement and so on.
"Don, is that horse really worth a million dollars?" an American asked his Chinese friend.
His Chinese friend looked at Lin Yuan enviously, nodded and said: "In the 1980s and 1990s, a tricolor horse like this was sold for more than 4 million pounds. What do you think?"
There are many types of Tang Sancai, including figures, animals, bowls and plates, water vessels, wine vessels, stationery, furniture, houses, and even pots containing ashes, etc.
Generally speaking, the most popular ones are the horse figurines. Some are galloping, some are lingering, and some are neighing, all showing various lifelike postures.
As for the characters, they include women, civil servants, military commanders, terracotta warriors, and kings. Different personalities and characteristics are depicted according to the social status and rank of the characters.
For example, noble ladies have plump faces, their hair is styled into various buns, and they wear brightly colored clothes. Civil servants are courteous, warriors are strong and brave, Hu figurines have high noses and deep eyes, and kings of heaven with angry eyes are majestic and majestic...
Among the many Tang Sancai images, the value of the Sancai horse is undoubtedly the highest.
The American suddenly took a breath and opened his mouth wide.
Is this also a case of getting rich overnight?
On Lin Yuan's side, the old uncle said: "Boss Lei asked us to wait for him. He is bringing people over now. He is almost there."
Boss Lei couldn’t sit still.
The Jun porcelain flowerpot made him covet before, and now there is another Tang Sancai, and it is also a Sancai horse.
Regardless, Lin Yuan and the others continued to clean up the remaining contents of the container. Qiao Yufan, who was inside, couldn't bear it and hurriedly came out for air. As soon as he came out, he vomited.
"Are there any masks? Give me one." Qiao Yufan asked Huo Qingtong and Li Qiushui.
Generally, girls bring tissues, masks, etc. They have bags that can hold a lot of things.
"I have it here." Huo Qingtong really brought it.
In the past two or three years, she had developed the habit of wearing a mask.
"Brother Lin, you should wear one too." Huo Qingtong shouted.
So, everyone put on a mask and finally felt a little more comfortable.
Not long after, Lin Yuan also dug out another treasure.
I saw that it was a pair of jade belt buckles. The carving of this belt hook is vigorous, the head is realistically carved, and the stripes on the abdomen, back, wings and other lines are smooth and powerful; the round base at the bottom is large and stable; the jade quality changes from white jade to gray-yellow, with gray spots all over the body; the lines are smooth Smooth, with bulging belly and back and smooth wings.
"What kind of jade is this?" Even though he had studied in China, Henry couldn't help it.
Don't talk about him, Qiao Yufan and the others can't understand either.
"The jade belt buckle, or jade belt hook, is similar to the current belt buckle." Lin Yuan told them.
There are two types of belts worn by ancient people: large belts and leather belts. Large belts are made of cloth and used to tighten the waist. Leather belts are mostly made of raw leather and are mainly used to tie ribbons, seals, pouches, swords and other items. .
Because the leather belt is hard and thick, it cannot be tied like a large belt. When used, it is often tied with the help of a belt head. This kind of belt head is usually made into a hook shape, called a belt hook.
The hook originated earlier, generally believed to be no later than the Spring and Autumn Period.
Its textures include gold, silver, copper, iron, jade, stone, etc. The jade belt hook is one of the more precious ones.
When everyone heard this, they were suddenly enlightened.
"What era is it from?" the old uncle asked.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"It should be from the Han Dynasty! There are traces of the Eight Swordsmen of the Han Dynasty." Lin Yuan could not see much. After all, his current knowledge reserve was still relatively limited.
He has been working hard recently.
Things like jade belt hooks also have the characteristics of the times, and there are changes in each dynasty.
For example, jade belt hooks from the middle and late Warring States period have been unearthed in large quantities, with wide distribution and sophisticated production techniques. Their shape, length, and decoration have changed greatly compared with the previous ones, but the complete form consisting of hook head, hook body, and hook button has been finalized. , the characteristics of the times are more obvious.
The Han Dynasty was the heyday of the production and use of jade belt hooks. Especially in the Western Han Dynasty, the use of jade was very popular in society. The jade belt hooks have made great progress and innovation based on inheriting the characteristics of similar devices in the Warring States Period.
At this stage, jade belt hooks were made with exquisite materials, simple and majestic knife techniques, and delicate polishing. The decorative lines were either rough and strong, concise and refined, or skillful, natural, rounded and smooth, showing a unique artistic charm.
After the Eastern Han Dynasty, the number of jade belt hooks in use decreased sharply, and after the Eastern Jin Dynasty it became a rare item. This situation lasted until the Tang and Song Dynasties, even if jade belt hooks occasionally appeared.
"Is it from the Han Dynasty? I'll ask Boss Lei." After saying that, the old uncle took another set of photos and sent them to Boss Lei.
Soon, Boss Lei responded.
He told his uncle that from the style point of view, this was indeed the style of jade belt hooks from the Han Dynasty.
Boss Lei said that the styles and types of jade belt hooks in the Han Dynasty mainly followed the style and types of the Warring States Period, including long strips, mantis belly shapes, pipa shapes, etc.
Some curved rod-shaped hooks and special-shaped hooks are varied. The use of deep and shallow relief techniques in the jade belt hook, as well as the multi-section inlaid jade belt hook, are refreshing.
The jade belt hooks of this period were mostly larger and longer, with dragon and bird heads as the main hook heads.
The old uncle clicked on the latest voice message sent by Boss Lei.
"If it is really from the Han Dynasty, this pair of jade belt hooks is worth very much. It is worth hundreds of thousands if not millions of dollars. When you take them, try not to take them if your hands are sweaty."
The old uncle smiled coquettishly at his nephew and wiped his palms on his clothes.
"Uncle, I have water here, let me wash it off."
Li Qiushui and Huo Qingtong were still considerate, holding a bottle of opened mineral water to wash their uncle's hands.
Others were speechless. Is this another one hundred million dollars?
Is the money coming in too quickly?
The onlookers' eyes turned red when they saw Lin Yuan pulling out another treasure.
I'm afraid this container is the MVP today or even in the past week, right?
