This tripod is real.
After a while, Xiao Bai confirmed this.
Not enough points?
Xiao Bai let out a long sigh.
If he has enough points to identify this tripod and knows the dynasty, region, and date it belongs to, it will undoubtedly be of great help to him in exploring the words on the bronze box.
Unfortunately, there is no if.
After carefully checking the patterns inside the cauldron, Xiao Bai retracted his hand and shook his head.
The bronze ware seems to have been unearthed some years ago, and it should be a product unearthed before the era when it could be traded.
I really don’t know how huge the tomb where this big cauldron was unearthed once was.
On the side, Xu Weiming couldn't help but squinted his eyes when he saw Xiao Bai shaking his head and sighing.
After a moment, he walked to Xiao Bai with a smile.
"What's wrong, Xiao Xiao, I see you shaking your head and sighing. Are these two bronze items also imitations?"
Hearing Xu Weiming's words, Xiao Bai was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head: "I haven't seen the bronze tree yet, but I am 90% sure that this bronze tripod is genuine."
"It's just that I can't understand the words in it."
Hearing this, Xu Weiming smiled and nodded: "Yes, the characters in this tripod are indeed very strange. They are different from ordinary small seal scripts. They should be the unique characters of a small country in Yunling in ancient times. I I’ve received objects with similar writing there before.”
Xiao Bai couldn't help being surprised when he heard this.
Has Wei Ming ever received similar objects?
Then why does he still question the authenticity of this tripod?
Logically speaking, if you have received a bronze vessel with special characters like this, as long as you can confirm its authenticity, you should be able to identify it at a glance if you encounter other objects of the same period and belonging to the same family.
But it was a bit strange for Xu Wei Mingfei to drag him here and ask him to identify whether the bronze was real or fake.
After a while, Xiao Bai gave up.
Since he couldn't figure out what Xu Weiming was thinking at the moment, let's talk about it later. With a sigh, he moved his eyes to the bronze tree aside.
This bronze tree has an interesting shape. It's about 1.78 meters tall. It doesn't have many branches, but many of the branches have a bronze booklet hung on the hanging tips.
There were also some words engraved on it that were very familiar to Xiao Bai. This gave Xiao Bai the feeling that this bronze tree was like the current kind of wishing tree.
People write their wishes on the card book and then tie them to branches to pray for their wishes to come true.
interesting.
Without hurrying to get started, Xiao Bai carefully looked at the details of the bronze tree.
He had never seen anything similar in his previous archaeological experience, but he didn't expect to see it at a small trade fair.
After pondering it closely for a long time, Xiao Bai felt that the meaning of this tree's existence was similar to what he felt when he first saw it.
It should be a sacrificial vessel for praying for blessings. In ancient times, when giant sacrificial activities were held in the local area, this bronze book with wishes written on it was hung on the top of a bronze branch.
Thinking of this, Xiao Bai gently placed his fingers on the bronze tree and secretly counted 1, 2, 3, 4... in his heart.
Um?
Is the system unresponsive?
Xiao Bai was stunned for a moment and then changed his hand position.
After waiting for a while, there was still no response.
This tree? It's actually a counterfeit?
Looking at this seemingly flawless bronze tree, Xiao Bai frowned.
How did this counterfeit master's skills improve so quickly?
The last time he saw a fake bronze, Xiao Bai was able to determine that it was a fake because the words on it were not right.
But now if this wasn't systematic, he would no longer be able to tell whether the bronze tree was real or fake.
Seeing Xiao Bai staring at the bronze tree in a daze, Xu Weiming asked with a smile: "What's wrong? Is this tree real or fake? If it is real, I am going to take a photo of these two objects together."
Hearing Xu Weiming's words, Xiao Bai shook his head again.
But this time, before Xu Weiming could ask, Xiao Bai said aloud: "Mr. Xu, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with this tree, but I'm still not optimistic about it."
"I can't tell what's wrong with this bronze tree? But I just feel that this tree should be a one-to-one imitation of the real thing. If I have to say there's something wrong with it, I think it's more mysterious. It has no sense of age.”
Hearing Xiao Bai's words, Xu Weiming was thoughtful.
"Don't you have a sense of history?"
In fact, as a veteran who has been in this industry for many years, he can understand what Xiao Bai means by feeling.
But he didn't seem to agree. In his eyes, this bronze tree could be said to be invulnerable.
No matter how you look at it, there is nothing wrong with this bronze tree.
Seeing Xu Weiming standing there silently, Xiao Bai smiled and then said: "Mr. Xu, this bronze tree has never been seen in classics before, and nothing similar has been found in archaeological excavations anywhere."
"However, I still don't think this is a fabrication. My idea is that regardless of whether it is authentic or not, the earliest seller of this tree must have the real thing."
"If the price is not expensive and you can contact the seller through this fake product, you might be able to see the real thing through some communication."
While the two were talking, the host of today's trade fair announced that the auction would officially begin in one hour.
Seeing Xiao Bai standing back in front of the bronze tripod, Xu Weiming sighed softly.
After looking around at the other collections tonight, Xiao Bai really felt that his visit this time was not in vain. It could be said that it was an eye-opener. ,
"The lavender-glazed, red-glazed, green-glazed, blue-glazed and celadon-glazed bowls and dishes from the official kilns of the Qing Dynasty are so stunning when placed together."
You know, in ordinary museums, it is very difficult to see such a comprehensive display of Qing Dynasty official kiln colored porcelain.
The bronze mirrors, silver makeup boxes and Tang knives from the Tang Dynasty made Xiao Bai even more moved.
These cultural relics are more than a thousand years old and are still so perfectly preserved.
Each of these, the experiences and stories over the years, are probably enough to fill a biographical novel.
After looking at the exhibits to be auctioned tonight, Xiao Bai walked to the trading area where the crowd was gathered. He didn't bring any antiques with him today, but brought over the three remaining plaques he took out today.
After roughly looking at the situation in the trading area, Xiao Bai casually found an empty seat to sit down and placed three signs on the display stand next to him.
Just a moment later, three or four people gathered around and picked up the three signs placed by Xiao Bai and started to read them.
"Brother, what are the prices for these three brands? Are they sold together or separately?"
When he heard someone asking for a price, Xiao Bai moved his eyes from the phone screen to the face of the person asking the question.
Looking at this young woman who was about thirty years old, Xiao Bai thought for a while, and then said: "It's all fine. If you buy it individually, it's 950,000 yuan, no two prices."
