The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

The 12 gemstone gold discs are all the same craftsmanship, that is, the number of layers of the gemstone decoration is different.

Most gems and diamonds are not very big, but the value of this strange item cannot be measured by the size of the gem.

"My God, how long will this take!"

It is Mark who is talking about such a piece of jewelry. Let's call it a jewel, a treasure made by a jeweler: apart from anything else, it is a huge project to inlay so many gems!

Zhang Nan heard this and said, "It may take several years. No matter what this thing is for, it will probably belong to the emperor's family.

For the craftsmen who served the imperial family in ancient times, the time to make things was not a big issue, as long as they could make objects that the emperor was satisfied with. "

With that said, Zhang Nan tried to take the thing out of the box, only to find that the object was "a combination of soft and hard": a stick with a low gold content was attached to the back, which was connected to the disc and horns with a lock.

Zhang Nan tried to lift things up, which felt like a scepter, but more like the ceremonial guards of the reduced ancient Roman army.

The locks can be easily unlocked. After this separation, a long string of treasures is like a string of "group wear": the brain is opened wide, and these locks seem to be combined with clothes such as robes and hung on the body. It will be gorgeous to burst!

But it's too heavy, remove that metal stick, it's still more than ten catties!

The reverse side of the object is a polished gold surface, with no words or special markings, which makes people even more confused about what this thing is for.

If you don’t know it, let’s talk about it then, buckle the stick back, wrap it in cotton cloth and put it back in the box.

"...I don't know where, but it's at least one or two hundred years ago. I think these solder joints are all old craftsmanship, and they don't touch modern tools.

And those gems are almost round polished, almost without cutting, relatively primitive processing techniques..."

The original is the original, not bad! This is just a different fashion trend of gem processing techniques. The "original craft" can maintain the original weight of the gem to the utmost extent. The huge red spinel on the crown of the Queen of England is this kind of craft.

The long strip carton is put aside, the second more conspicuous box in the box is a vertical rectangular box, but it is not a carton, but a wooden box.

It's quite large, with a height of more than forty centimeters, and a square with a diameter of about 30 centimeters.

This thing is heavier, at least 30 pounds!

Mark helped Qiu Bo take out the box and opened it on the ground...

The contents are still wrapped in cotton cloth, and the gaps are filled with rags.

After finally unraveling, it was found that there was a pure gold utensil inside.

"It seems to be a fragrance."

Zhang Nan held up the lid with both hands, feeling he could weigh more than ten kilograms!

Upon hearing this, Xiang Weirong said, "It's from China?"

Zhang Nan carefully placed the half-watermelon-like gold lid on the wooden box spread with cotton cloth, looked carefully, and said: "No. The bird above is not our Chinese style, like a peacock but not like... "

At first glance, it looks like a gold product from the Ming Dynasty in China, but carefully distinguish whether there is any.

There is a three-dimensional bird standing on the top of the lid. The whole lid is hollowed out. The foundation is densely lined with flexible line branches and grass-like gold structures. Then there are two layers of animal shapes in the embossment process outside the "branches".

Counting it carefully, there are two monkeys, two hounds, two leopards, and two deer.

It's a bit like the craftsmanship of using the lost wax method to cast bronzes with complex lines during the Warring States Period, just like the casting method of the large refrigerator by Zeng Houyi.

But after Zhang Nan took a closer look, it felt a lot like: there are welding points on the top after polishing, which should be a combination of several techniques, including lost wax, inlay, engraving, and relief!

Of course, this age is not comparable to Zeng Houyi's Bingjian, but this aromatherapy has to be a bit old.

You can't drop it if you are young. Who made this thing in the 20th century?

The base is heavier than the lid, and the exterior decoration is divided into three layers, which is as complicated as the aromatherapy lid.

In addition to the animals in relief, there are three golden monkeys squatting on the three edges. This reminds Zhang Nan of the bronzes of Chu State in the Warring States Period. He likes to decorate animals on the edges.

But Huaxia Yonglong, this fragrance is on the monkey.

The base has three legs, resembling a cloud-like tree-like golden pillar, with a little...

"How do I feel that this thing has a little I-Silan flavor..."

Guan Xingquan said what Zhang Nan thought. After hearing what he said, the six or seven people present felt more and more that this fragrance had the smell of Islam.

At this time, the two Mark brothers were talking softly to each other, but the two super giants couldn't speak easily. Besides, it was in an underground room, and the others could still hear them very clearly.

Jacob asked his brother again: The little devil didn't seem to hit the Middle East, right?

As a result, his brother's eyes rolled!

The history class in American high schools is scum, and geography class is probably not so good!

This Jacob is now a good bodyguard, but he was definitely not a good student before!

Zhang Nan asked Qiu Bo and Mark to repackage the aromatherapy, and said to Jacob with a bit of a bitter smile: "This Islam in Southeast Asia covers a very wide area. There are very many people in Malay and Indonesia who believe in this area. Hundreds of years ago, large and small. The sultanate is even more numerous.

Even in the Philippines, there are a lot of Muslims in Mindanao, almost all of them in some provinces...

Speaking of this, Zhang Nan felt that he needed to add something.

"Don't ask me why Muslindo in Southeast Asia~www.readwn.com~ I don't know, I haven't studied it, I don't bother to study it, it's totally unnecessary.

If you want to know the specific process, you can ask the two experts in the manor who are working on art statistics. They not only study the looted cultural relics during World War II, they should also know something about Islan. They used to be a history teacher. "

Jacob smiled awkwardly, and said: "Boss, I'm still my bodyguard, my grades are not good."

Very clever young man, doing his job well, since he has been a meat shield bodyguard, he can't be sorry for his good body, and he should be the best meat shield in the world, so don't even think about becoming a history expert.

Are these things from the Islan world?

So far, Zhang Nan is still uncertain. It's like the first thing that can't be named. It can be used as a scepter when it is carried. After removing the stick, hanging on the robe is also an ornament.

This is a bit like the decorations on the traditional costumes of some ethnic minorities in China. Strings of jewels and decorations can also cost several tens of catties!

As for what it is, I'll talk about it after I get it back to New York, and I can always figure out why.

As for whether it is something from the Islan world...

Is it important?

No, it doesn't matter to Zhang Nan at all.

It's...

He opened the remaining small boxes again, "These are good! Good things!"
