Chapter 752 The tomb of the Han emperor
Noda Yoshihiko didn’t tell the Mitsui brothers directly the origin of this thing, but the more mysterious he was, the more curious the two brothers became. But it not only interrupted the identification process of Noda Yoshihiko. , x.
At this time, Yoshihiko Noda had reached out and touched another box.
The thing that was difficult for him to come out of this time blinded the dog eyes of the Mitsui brothers on the spot. The four triangular eyes of the brothers soon seemed to be stuck to the thing and could no longer be removed.
This time, the thing is still a bronze mirror, but on the back, there is a whole gold back inlaid.
At first glance, this bronze mirror has been carefully maintained. The whole is in the shape of a sunflower with a total of twelve petals. The front is polished so smoothly that even two thousand years later, it can be seen from the bronze mirror in front. to a clearly visible reflection.
A gold back is inlaid on the back, and this gold back is also in the shape of twelve petals, and there are various statues of children carved on the gold back. These children surround a smiling old man in the middle. A total of seven figures are vividly carved, and they are full of a festive and peaceful atmosphere. Just by looking at the meaning and shape of this mirror, you can know that it is a bronze mirror for celebrating auspicious longevity and longevity.
With such a bright and clean mirror surface and such a beautifully carved gold back behind it, how can such a bronze mirror be owned by ordinary people?
This is almost certainly something of the royal family, and the Mitsui brothers still have some common sense.
You must know that in the Han Dynasty, copper was a precious metal, and bronze mirrors could be used. That was no ordinary people. Not to mention this bronze mirror. I also used some kind of craftsmanship to make this bronze mirror buried underground for two thousand years without any corrosion, which already reflects the preciousness of this bronze mirror.
But more importantly, the gold back inlaid behind the bronze mirror, you must know that gold, although it was also a kind of precious currency at that time, basically did not enter the market for circulation.
Just as a royal reward to important ministers. Or it is just a gift from the royal family and relatives, and the golden back behind the bronze mirror, just looking at the head, it has weight, it must at least weigh a pound.
In those days, who could decorate a bronze mirror with such gold, it was almost certain that there was basically no one other than the royal family.
Even if it is a dignitary, if such a bronze mirror is used. There is also the risk of overstepping the system, so ordinary dignitaries will never take such a risk.
Thinking of this. The Mitsui brothers were even more determined.
Noda Yoshihiko also held the mirror and looked at it for a long time, and then carefully put the mirror in Mitsui Guangliang’s hand, and let the brothers continue to look at it, and he began to dig it out.
Next, he took out a pile of small objects, such as pottery figurines pigs, pottery figurines chickens, pottery figurines sheep, and pottery figurines horses and other poultry and livestock.
These things are similar to the concept of the previous pottery figurines servants and ladies. They are the essential items that the tomb owner brought down to maintain his luxurious life.
But the value is not high compared to the previous bronze mirrors, but what came out next stunned the Mitsui brothers.
Bronze five-legged stove, dragon handle bucket, wild geese smoke stove, flying bird smoke stove with handle, gilt gilt goat lamp and gilt gilt, and then several golden cakes.
The next thing that came out of the other box made the two brothers stunned and their tongues were about to stick out.
A large piece of horseshoe gold, as well as toe gold, when they saw these golden dumplings, the two brothers felt that their brains were about to be deprived of oxygen.
Nima, whose tomb is this, there are so many treasures?
In fact, these two brothers were also stunned by these horseshoe gold and lintoe gold. Golden tanzi such as horseshoe gold and lintoe gold are not uncommon in ancient Chinese antiques.
Of course, this form of golden buns generally only exists in the Han Dynasty. In the later dynasties, gold is generally made into simple golden cakes, or golden buns, or gold ingots in order to carry it. , and made into the shape of the toe gold and the horseshoe gold, only the nobles of the Han Dynasty who were ‘superb’ liked.
However, the horseshoe gold and lintoe gold of the Han Dynasty, these two brothers have also seen in some museums in China, most of which are simple forms of horseshoe gold and lintoe gold.
And the horseshoe gold and ring toe gold they saw in front of their eyes this time, even if the two brothers did not have the level of identification, they could see that these things were different from those they had seen in Chinese museums before.
Because this horseshoe gold and ring toe gold are so carved. . . . . .
It’s not an exaggeration at all, just at the ankles of the gold toe gold and the gold of the horseshoe, there is actually a row of carvings around the mouth of these gold dice.
And the most important thing is that on the bottom surface of this horseshoe gold and lintoe gold, ordinary horseshoe gold and lintoe gold generally do not make special decorations on the bottom surface, because gold is already very valuable, and there is no need to use other baby to set off.
But these pieces of horseshoe gold are not the same as lintoe gold. Not only are there carvings on the ankles, but on the bottom surface, there is a whole surface of beeswax inlaid.
The glittering yellow beeswax, under the dazzling light, is in harmony with the gold. The combination of the two golden-yellow treasures of different colors has formed an indescribable luxury. gas.
This time, even Mitsui Takawa and Mitsui Guangliang, two brothers who were born in wealthy families, were dumbfounded for the first time.
Nima, I originally thought that my family was rich enough, but now it seems that compared with the nobles of China more than 2,000 years ago, my family is completely a local old hat. . .
Sure enough, the world of Brother Hao is really not something that ordinary people like us can understand.
If these golds must be just ordinary gold buns, horseshoe gold, and ring-toed gold, then the value of this thing will not be too high.
Because gold has never been regarded as an antique, because it has been the precious currency of human society since human history was recorded, and it has a history of thousands of years from ancient times to the present.
Therefore, it is difficult to define this kind of thing as an antique, even if this thing is the love of the Han Dynasty nobles two thousand years ago, it will not work.
But now the ankles of the horseshoe gold and lintoe gold are engraved with a circle of patterns, and the soles of the feet are inlaid with a layer of polished beeswax, which is different.
These golds are endowed with the breath of works of art, and the value of this thing increases immediately, and can no longer be regarded as ordinary currency, because it already has the artistry in terms of aesthetics.
This thing is no longer a currency, but a work of art, and it is a work of art that was loved by the royal family of the Han Dynasty more than 2,000 years ago, and the price of things will skyrocket immediately.
Being shocked by such a thing, the next thing that Noda Yoshihiko took out has made the two numb.
A pair of bronze geese lanterns, a bronze Boshan furnace, a gold inlaid jade danglu. . . . . .
Wait, when the gold inlaid jade is Lu? Also, does Nima have carvings of Suzaku Xuanwu?
Nima, how rich is your tomb owner?
Brother Mitsui felt that their mouths were dry and smoking, because the things in front of them were too hot, although these things were just dead things in the eyes of ordinary people. , but in the eyes of these Chinese antique lovers, these things are all very hot and peerless treasures.
Gold inlaid jade as Lu?
This is when Lu is such a thing, it is just a piece of decoration made by the nobles in the past when they decorated their favorite horses, on the horse’s forehead, the part between the two eyes, along the bridge of the horse’s nose.
In the Han Dynasty, where could ordinary people afford to keep horses?
Those who can afford horses are rich families or dignitaries, but even ordinary dignitaries, how many are willing to make a gold inlaid jade for their beloved horse?
Moreover, it is necessary to carve something like Suzaku Xuanwu on this Danglu, which is not something that ordinary people who are full and supportive can do. . .
At this time, it was almost unnecessary for Noda Yoshihiko to tell them that the two brothers had already confirmed that these things must have been dug up from the tomb of an emperor in the Han Dynasty.
Because at that time, there were basically no other people who could maintain such a luxurious life except the emperor.
After that, Noda Yoshihiko took out a lot of various jade objects from the last box~www.readmtl.com~ They were all white jade, what kind of jade tubes, jade Huang, jade bi, and jade people. of.
Seeing this, the Mitsui brothers were more certain of their guesses at this time.
Because the people of the Han Dynasty were famous people who loved jade in Chinese history, and that dynasty was also the peak period of the first jade development in ancient Chinese history.
Looking at these jade wares, almost all of them were carved by the carving technique of the Han Ba Dao. At this time, the two brothers have basically lost their minds.
These things must have come from the tomb of a certain Han Dynasty emperor.
And when he looked at Noda Yoshihiko again at this time, his face was full of numbness. When he finally emptied the last box, he actually let out a long sigh of relief, as if he had no bones all over his body.
He stood in front of these treasures, adjusted for a long time, and then raised his head. At this time, his eyes were as bright as a 200-watt electric bulb, and the whole person’s spirit was completely different from before. : “Watanabe-kun, these things should have come from the tomb of the abolished emperor of the Han Dynasty?” (To be continued.)
