Chapter 894 Different Gold Bricks
Of course, Chen Wenzhe definitely couldn't take a closer look at the jade pillow unearthed in China.

But Chen Wenzhe could see the jade pillow in the photo in front of him more clearly.

He must have taken more than one photo of this baby.

Several pictures were taken, and all its features, so to speak, were captured.

Chen Wenzhe found a frontal photo. From the front, the jade piece on the front of the jade pillow is decorated with gold leaf, and the middle part is decorated with a pair of paving rings.

The two sides are inlaid with bi-shaped jade pieces, and the middle is also decorated with head rings.

Each of the four corners is supported by a dragon-shaped copper foot. Double horns grow from the dragon's head, marking the initial establishment of the real dragon shape.

The base is gilt, surrounded by a copper frame, with a dragon-shaped hollow pattern in the middle.

In addition, some of the bronze pillows of the Han Dynasty are inlaid with rectangular jade plates, as seen in the Han Tomb in Mancheng, Hebei.

With a swipe of the phone, the next photo is a jade pillow with a gilt copper frame.

A jade pillow of this level must belong to a prince, and it is impossible for each prince to be buried with two.

In fact, if you want to prove whether it is the funeral objects of the princes or not, you can know by looking at the jewelry they were buried with.

After swiping the phone, the next photo is a gilt bi-shaped copper ornament, which is more than eighteen centimeters in diameter. .

In that cave, Chen Wenzhe saw at least five pieces of gilt-shaped bronze ornaments.

These bi-shaped copper ornaments are round, with a gilt surface and a slightly bulging round face in the center.

The decoration outside the center is divided into two areas, the inner area is composed of two symmetrical Kui dragons, and the outer area is composed of four mutually symmetrical Kui dragons.

The bi-shaped copper ornament photographed has small square buttons on the back, and some buttons have "two" and "seven" engraved next to them.

There are no decorations on the back of these bi-shaped copper ornaments, and the numbers cast on the square buttons are not only two, seven, but also the word "five".

Since the buttonhole is too large, fill it with tin to make the hole smaller.

Judging from the shape of the gilt bi-shaped copper ornaments, they should be a combination of jade bi and rivets inlaid on the jade lacquer coffin. As a substitute for jade bi, they became ornaments on the jade lacquer coffin.

Doing so will definitely solve the problems of expensive jade materials, lack of resources, and time-consuming and labor-intensive jade bi processing.

The standard of jade bi is very high, but these are bi-shaped copper ornaments, not jade, so the standard is a bit lower.

Up to now, Chen Wenzhe has not discovered the golden jade clothes, and he does not know how many royal tombs there are. However, even if there are princes and grandchildren who can be decorated with bi-shaped copper, there must be many funeral objects.

During the day, when nothing happened, Chen Wenzhe hid in his study to study the photos he took, mainly the jade pillow.

Because a jade pillow, as long as the specifications are high, it represents a king's tomb, or a queen's tomb.

If you are lucky, you may get two golden jade clothes in the tomb of such a couple.

And high-grade jade pillows are really rare.

For example, the jade pillow with a gilt-bronze frame, the previous one had a tiger-shaped decoration, and its grade is definitely not as high as the dragon-shaped decoration.

After studying the whole day, Chen Wenzhe found that among the photos he took, there was really a rectangular box-shaped jade pillow, which was composed of four dragon-shaped feet and a base.

The dragon head is high, the dragon's front claws are upright, the dragon's body and tail are intersected and cast on the bottom of the pillow frame, and the frame of the pillow frame is engraved with slender cirrus patterns.

The pillow body is composed of wooden core, decorative jade pieces, gilt copper components, gold leaf, etc., and is placed on the pillow frame.

However, the wooden core in the middle of the pillow body has decayed, and it should have been rectangular, with a layer of silk or cloth wrapped around the core.

The top surface is inlaid with 2 pieces of dragon-shaped jade pieces and 6 pieces of small jade pieces. The dragon-shaped pieces of jade are decorated with Yinxian scroll patterns, and some places are hollowed out.

Each of the two ends is composed of 3 pieces of jade and a gilt copper shop head.

In the center is a semicircular jade piece, which is remade from grain-patterned jade bib.

And the jade bi is not simple, it must be the jade bi of the Warring States period!

This thing, even in ancient times, is a treasure. It is very normal for the treasures of the Warring States period to be obtained by the nobles of the Han Dynasty, used for transformation and buried with them.

And the Warring States jade articles on this jade pillow are really not one or two.

Looking at the jade pillow in front of you, there is a gilt rectangular copper frame in the middle of its outer side, inside the frame are inlaid 4 pieces of jade pieces and 2 copper heads with animal head rings.

The gilt-bronze shop head is an animal head ring, placed in the center of a semicircular jade piece.

The inner side is composed of 8 pieces of jade, the middle piece of jade is decorated with grain patterns, and there is a small round hole in the center of the arch end.

According to its shape, it can be judged that the jade piece may be remade from a dragon-shaped jade pendant or a jade huang.

After a little identification, Chen Wenzhe recognized that the dragon-shaped jade pendant and jade huang were both from the Warring States period, because the Warring States crafts and decorations on them were too obvious.

In the Han Dynasty, Taoism and the concept of immortality prevailed. The copper frame on the outer surface of the jade pillow should be a symbol of the door frame in real life, and it may be a doorway specially set up for the soul of the dead to enter and exit.

The pillow body is also inlaid with gold leaf. The whole jade pillow has a unique shape. The dragon pattern and the four dragons on the pillow frame are full of movement. The pillow body and the pillow frame are fixed with rivets and can be disassembled at any time.

The pillow frame and copper ornaments are all gilt, and the pillow body is also decorated with gold leaf, which looks extremely luxurious.

It can be said that this is the most luxurious and complicated jade pillow among the jade pillows that Chen Wenzhe has seen.

In this photo, in addition to the jade pillow, jade masks, jade Ling, dish-shaped jade pendants, and jade hangs were also unearthed.

The appearance of these utensils shows that the tomb owner had a high social status during his lifetime.

Needless to say, this jade pillow and the things around it must come from the same tomb of the king of Chu!

There are so many fragmented things, and many of them are not easy to carry, so they must be sorted and boxed!
Fortunately, he is now also in the timber business. In this case, it is easy to get some wood chips. When the time comes, he will nail it and it will be a simple wooden box.

After suffering all day, at night, the manor finally closed, and Chen Wenzhe and others entered the passage again.

This time Gao Qijing and the others did not follow Chen Wenzhe, but stayed outside in the gold brick cave, sorting out the gold bricks.

This is the easiest wealth to transport away, so naturally it must be taken away first.

The main reason is that there are too many gold bricks. If you don't pay close attention, after a long time, your feet may be exposed.

"Boss, we found that some of the gold bricks here are different!"

"Different?" Chen Wenzhe stopped in his tracks: "Why is it different?"

"It should not be the gold bricks of the same period. Although they look similar in size, they have different weights. Many of them are obviously heavier!"

Chen Wenzhe became interested. Don't these gold bricks all come from Han tombs?

In fact, he had suspected this for a long time, mainly because there were not many times when gold bricks were simply stored in the tombs of the Han Dynasty.

Even if the nobles are buried with gold, they are made into gold and silver wares, not just buried with gold bricks.

If gold bricks from other periods were mixed in, it would be normal for more than [-] tons of gold to appear here.

"That's it!" Soon, Gao Qijing brought over a gold brick.

With just a glance, Chen Wenzhe could tell that this is really not a Han Dynasty gold brick.
