My system is not decent

Chapter 1495 The Unstoppable Coffin Board

It seems that the counterfeiting industry also has large capital entering the market, otherwise the general counterfeiting workshops do not have this kind of capital.

You must know that imitating something of this level cannot be successfully imitated in one go.

And as long as there is failure, there must be loss, especially onyx.

If you want to imitate high-grade things, no material can do it.

In this way, as long as there are too many failures, even the less valuable red agate will cost a lot of money.

I don't know how these people came up with the idea of ​​imitating such a famous thing?

However, if you don't know how to do it, I'm afraid you really don't know these somewhat unpopular antiques.

For example, this gold cup inlaid with red agate and tiger handle, if you don't know its origin, you may really be able to deceive a large number of colleagues.

However, Chen Wenzhe knew that this was a treasure discovered by the 1997th Regiment of the Fourth Agricultural Division of Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps in 74.

When they were building a road near Ma Town, Yizhou, they accidentally discovered a large tomb and dug it out.

The large tomb discovered at that time was a thousand-year-old tomb in the Wei and Jin Dynasties.

It was also this discovery that brought countless rare treasures to light.

Among them is a gold cup with a lid inlaid with red agate, about 14.7 cm high and weighing about 489 grams.

The inner and outer surfaces of this gold cup are embossed with diamond-shaped lattice patterns with molds.

Each rhombus on the outer surface is inlaid with a red agate.

The cup handle is a golden tiger with a strong physique, a slender waist, and erect ears. The bottom and feet are eight-petal hammer patterns.

According to expert research, it can be basically determined that this gold cup has the characteristics of ancient Greek and Roman culture.

Therefore, this thing should come from the Byzantine Empire, and in the form of trade goods, it came to our Xinjiang province through the Silk Road.

"You really have some skills. How can you receive such an unpopular antique?"

Holding the agate gold cup, he looked at it for several minutes, but he couldn't see any signs of being worn. Chen Wenzhe was very surprised.

Did Li Tianqiang find a master to help him?Why did he make these things, which are all fake at first glance, but he just can't find any flaws?
This is amazing, knowing that these things are not authentic, but the imitation is lifelike, which great god's work is this?
"There are still a few pieces of this kind of thing, the boss can see these rubbings."

Li Tianqiang pointed to a large stack of paper things not far away, and said a little proudly.

Chen Wenzhe was speechless. There are inscriptions, Beiye scriptures, rubbings and ancient books here.

Sure enough, after cleaning up these things, there are still some things below.

Take a casual look, it's really good, there is a gilded silver bottle, and a glass bowl, what are those?Waist knife?

The silver vase should be something from ancient Greece, because there are ancient Greek mythological figures on it.

In addition, that glass bowl should also be an ancient object, which is also something from ancient Greece?

This should be a glass bowl with convex nails. Ancient glass products are also very precious.

It's a pity that Chen Wenzhe knew the source of these things, otherwise it would have brought him some surprises.

In 1983, a Northern Zhou tomb was discovered in the farmland of Guyuan, Ning District.

Later, it was determined that the tomb was the joint burial of Li Xian, the general of Shangzhu Kingdom in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and his wife.

What was discovered at the same time as the tomb was naturally a large number of funerary objects.

These include the two national treasure-level cultural relics, the "Gold-gilt and Silver Vase of Ancient Greek Mythological Figures" and "Glass Bowl with Convex Nails".

A gold-plated silver vase, a figure in ancient Greek mythology, is 37.5 cm high and weighs about 1.5 kg.

Made of sterling silver, with gilt display, duckbill flow, human-shaped handle, and bulging belly.

Trumpet-shaped water ripple seat, three groups of six figures are embossed on the body of the bottle.

These characters are Menelaus and Helen, Paris and Aphrodite, Paris and Helen.

The entire body of the bottle depicts two ancient Greek myths, "Golden Apple" and "Troy".

As for the glass bowl with convex nails, it has a straight mouth and a ring foot, about 8 cm high, 9.8 cm in diameter, and weighs about 246 grams.

The whole bowl is made of turquoise white glass, and the surface is decorated with glass spikes of the same quality.

Two treasures, obviously deeply influenced by ancient Greek culture.

Therefore, according to experts' inference, these two treasures should come from ancient Persia during the Sasanian Dynasty.

Later, it came to my country via the Silk Road and was collected by Li Xian.

It is not easy to get the last one. It is a waist knife with sapphire intarsia and leather sheath.

And this knife is even more famous.

It takes a lot of money to make a good knife by itself, not to mention the need to inlay better quality sapphire.

Therefore, even if this knife is not genuine, the production cost is not low.

Unfortunately, this can't be true.

Because the real product was sent to China by the British government in 1793.

At that time, the British envoy Macartney came to my country to celebrate the [-]th birthday of Emperor Qianlong.

He attempted to further open up the Chinese market through this mission.

Since you are here to celebrate your birthday, you can't go there empty-handed.

Macartney carefully prepared 600 boxes of gifts for Emperor Qianlong, including a large number of scientific instruments, books, hot and cold weapons, ship models, daily necessities, artwork, clocks and so on.

This sapphire inlaid leather sheath waist knife is in it.

This knife is about 97.4 cm long and is forged from fine steel.

The knife is equipped with a cowhide scabbard, and the handle is made of sapphire as the main material, and inlaid with gold threads and gems.

But the result of this meeting was not pleasant.

Macartney's almost harsh requirements were naturally rejected by Emperor Qianlong.

The British ship gradually decided to open the door of our country by war.

But the aging Emperor Qianlong did not see the opening of a new era from Macartney's arrival, and the two parties broke up unhappy.

We all know what happened later with the weakening of the Qing Dynasty's national power.

"Huh? What is this? Why does it look familiar?"

As soon as he put down the waist knife, Chen Wenzhe saw a painted thing below.

After peeling off the ancient books on it, Chen Wenzhe laughed when he saw it.

No wonder it looks familiar, because just now he thought of this thing, this thing is a coffin board.

Ordinary people may feel unlucky when they see this thing.

However, people in the industry know that this thing means promotion and fortune, so they also feel very unlucky.

In any case, for Chinese people, this thing is not very popular.

Therefore, there are not many such things, and few people are willing to collect them.

What's more, the coffin slab in front of Chen Wenzhe has very special decorations, and it can't be domestic.

Therefore, after a short look, Chen Wenzhe recognized that it was an Egyptian painted coffin board.

Although it was only a part, Chen Wenzhe knew that it was probably imitated from Duan Fang's collection.

There is really no other famous coffin board in China, and it can be imitated.

The colorful paintings on this coffin board are so eye-catching, it's hard for Chen Wenzhe to forget it!
