Chapter 442 National Treasure! 2 song long cup!
While chatting, everyone felt sleepy, extinguished the fire, and spent the night in the tent.
The next day, everyone started their busy work.
Wang Jinpeng, Xu Ning and Zhenbao returned to the Holy Tower and tried to bring out the small cultural relics that had not been taken out.
Of course, if you can find a way to enter the mysterious dark room, it will be called an unexpected fortune!
Lin Ran and Huang Hao began to conduct cultural relic appraisals, while Liu Jingfeng took notes.
The cultural relics placed in front of you include gold, silver, copper and iron wares, lacquered wood wares, leather, jade wares, glass wares and textiles. There are more than [-] pieces in total. The identification is a big project.
Lin Ran glanced at it and found a pair of gold harness accessories.
I saw this pair of accessories, four centimeters wide, which were decorations on the horse.
Judging from the patterns on it, it does not look like the style of the Tang Dynasty, nor is it the Tubo style.
Instead, it is full of patterns and textures from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty!
"This should be the collection of the Great Khan." Lin Ran showed the golden horse accessories to Liu Jingfeng and said, "This is an Eastern Zhou cultural relic from the sixth century BC, and its value is higher than other cultural relics."
During the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the research on chariots reached its peak, and the decoration of horses reached its peak!
Especially the royal supplies are extremely luxurious.
The gold harness accessories in front of you have red paint attached to the surface. Unfortunately, part of the color has fallen off, revealing the gold inside. The exquisite intaglio lines can also prove the exquisiteness of the production craftsmanship at that time.
These patterns later appeared on jade articles and pendants of the Qin Dynasty.
The reason why Lin Ran saw this cultural relic at once was because in his previous life, this cultural relic was owned by the British Museum.
It was actually unearthed from this tomb.
Then, his eyes focused on a Tuyuhun gold ornament.
This is a gold ornament about [-] centimeters long. It is a warrior sitting on horseback. However, the warrior's appearance is a bit funny. It looks like the King of Hearts in playing cards. He has curly hair and bulging eyes. ,
"This is a gold medallion in the shape of a horse and archer, depicting the warrior style of Tuyuhun." Lin Ran said, "It weighs 200 grams. We can consider selling it to museums so that they can study the history behind it."
Liu Jingfeng nodded. Although gold was very valuable, he had promised Lin Ran that items with historical research value would be sold to the museum first.
Therefore, he specially marked it and put it aside.
Most of the gold and silver jewelry reflects the unique aesthetic style of the Tuyuhun period.
In addition to gold and silver jewelry, there was also a glass bowl that attracted Lin Ran's attention.
It is the rumored twelve-track agate cup!
Lin Ran carefully picked up the cultural relics with gloves and saw that the long cup was made of a whole piece of yellow agate. It had thick walls, good light transmittance, smooth surface without patterns, and the whole body showed a glass luster.
Visible to the naked eye, there are flake crystals and crack lines.
The overall mouth of the cup is oval, concave in the middle, raised at both ends, and rounded bottom.
The most special thing is that it has twelve horizontal curved petals.
Amazing figure, the only one in the country!
After hearing Lin Ran's appraisal results, Liu Jingfeng immediately looked at the cultural relic and was very happy.
"Brother Lin, do you estimate how much this thing is worth?"
"It's hard to say." Lin Ran remembered that this was once the treasure of the Touraine Museum. There is only one in the world and it can be said to be a priceless treasure.
If you were to sell an ordinary collection, the price in today's era would be in the tens of thousands!
Unfortunately, there are only two cultural relics recorded in the Dulan Museum, which are slightly different from the previous life. The other cultural relics unearthed are all unheard of before.
But this trip was quite fruitful.
Wang Jinpeng and his party moved much faster this time, and when the sky turned dark, they had already returned with six snakeskin bags.
"Thank you for your hard work." Liu Jingfeng personally lit the fire and barbecued the mutton to reward everyone today.
"It's a pity that there is no wine here, so let's have tea instead of wine and have a drink."
Everyone raised their glasses, and at this time, Zhenbao mentioned another thing.
"Didn't we find a room where Buddha statues and Buddhist scriptures were placed earlier? The small statues inside have been taken out, but there are still some large Buddha statues that have not been taken out. It seems that a professional excavation team is needed."
For Tibetan areas with a strong religious atmosphere, the value of Buddha statues may be far higher than other cultural relics.
The next day, they did not go to the Holy Tower. At noon, Amin brought two trucks and a large number of local workers to Xuewei Village.
Xuewei Village has been abandoned, and they can start mining work without any worries.
Finally no longer having to do it himself, Wang Jinpeng was happy to be the contractor, giving instructions to the workers and asking them to move out the Buddha statues and weapons that were previously difficult to remove from the tomb one by one.
These workers do not look like locals. After the abolition of serfdom, many Han people moved to Tibetan areas to live.
They started building engineering equipment as soon as they arrived. After a day and night of preparation work, they finally completed the construction.
A crane-like structure transports people into the holy tower and takes things out from inside.
It was only the first day. Everyone looked at the mountains of cultural relics in front of them. A Ming said with some annoyance: "If I had known, I would have hired two more trucks."
Because there are so many cultural relics, two trucks can never fit them.
Liu Jingfeng reminded Wang Jinpeng and Xu Ning to pay attention to supervising the workers and not letting them put valuable cultural relics in their backpacks.
Workers hired to dig up treasures often do this kind of thing.
Then, he confessed to A Ming: "A Ming, the engineering team's affairs are left to you. You can't make any mistakes."
"Put it on me." A Ming nodded, and then asked, "Boss, what are you going to do?"
"I'll go to the town and find some people who can do cross-city freight." Liu Jingfeng replied.
According to the agreement with Lin Ran, most of the cultural relics will be donated to the local cultural relics department, which is also part of cultural inheritance.
A Ming and his team were left behind to continue digging. Liu Jingfeng and Lin Ran took a truck and transported some of the cultural relics to the town.
"What are you going to do with this stuff?"
Lin Ran looked at the truck, "Don't you want to send it back through the post office?"
In this remote town, in addition to ordinary citizens, there are many monks.
Many of their cultural relics include Buddhist scriptures and statues, and they are afraid that they will attract the attention of monks.
It will be difficult to leave then!
Liu Jingfeng, on the other hand, acted like he knew the local area very well and walked back and forth in the market. Their clothes were very different from the locals, so they attracted many people's attention.
But like a normal person, he swerved around and arrived at a ceramics shop run by a Han Chinese inside the market.
The Han man was shouting to the locals in Tibetan and seemed to be soliciting customers.
When he saw Liu Jingfeng, he seemed stunned.
"Hello, can I send something here?" Liu Jingfeng suddenly asked strangely.
It looked like a secret code for a connection. The Han boss smiled and said, "It depends on whether the price you gave is suitable!"
