"The remaining two pieces are ancient jade, which should not disappoint you." While speaking, Lei Xiaochen opened the fourth brocade box.

The topaz animal-shaped pendant placed in this brocade box, but Lei Xiaochen didn't know whether it was a jade carving treasure left over from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty or a copy of the descendants.

After seeing this beast-shaped pendant, Li Wenxuan exclaimed lightly, and looked solemn, and carefully picked it up and appreciated it carefully.

This is a topaz beast-shaped pendant. The auspicious beast is concise and powerful in shape, exquisite and exquisite in carving, combining reality and imagination, with fluent and elegant lines, full of rhythm, and a sense of curves and straightness, outlines the intimidating posture of the beast, the beast body is carefully carved, the relief patterns are faint, the rigidity and softness are combined, and the momentum is profound.

Li Wenxuan quickly obtained the identification results - this animal-shaped pendant is a rare and extremely rare Eastern Zhou animal jade carving!

This beast-shaped pendant is the best jade carving in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. At that time, jade carving technology developed the highest. Although the jade material was limited, the artifacts they made were beautiful and extremely beautiful, which was difficult to reach in later generations.

After a while, Li Wenxuan reluctantly put the beast-shaped pendant back into the brocade box and said, "I have been dealing with ancient jade for half my life, but I have never owned such exquisite ancient jade, and I have not even seen many of them with my own eyes. Most of this rare ancient jade in the world is stored in museums and is rarely collected in my private hands. This one is the Eastern Zhou topaz beast-shaped pendant, which is very precious."

When Lei Xiaochen learned that this beast-shaped pendant was indeed a jade carving in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, not a later generation imitation, Lei Xiaochen's eyes suddenly shone, "I have always been worried that this beast-shaped pendant was a imitation of the descendants. With your statement, I can finally feel at ease."

Li Wenxuan said: "Your animal-shaped pendant is not an unearthed item. It has no color and is not of high quality for identification. It is indeed possible that it is a miscalculation of descendants."

Li Wenxuan was very happy and became very excited when he was lucky enough to identify a fine Eastern Zhou jade carving. This fine Eastern Zhou jade carving has popularized Lei Xiaochen a lot of basic knowledge.

Lei Xiaochen listened very seriously and learned a lot.

"There are three pairs of jade artifacts in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty that are the same as this category, all of which are outstanding fine items among Eastern Zhou jade carvings. The first pair is stored in the Forge Museum of Art in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and the Cleveland Museum of Art also has a pair, and the third pair is stored in the Freer Museum of Art in Washington."

Li Wenxuan was very interested and talked freely: "Although the animal-shaped pendant in the world is similar, the legs in the present example are made of phoenix and dragon patterns with curves, which are unique in the tree, highlighting the feather-shaped and curling characteristics of the feather-shaped bird-shaped bird-shaped pattern of the dynasty. The design is smooth and simple, concise and unconventional, without redundant points. A few strokes have clearly captured the charm of the divine beasts."

"Compared with other examples, the head of this animal is more low-hanging, like a steep rock, looking down, the composition is in the shape of the original stone, the color changes, and the edges are brown spots into jade skin, highlighting the craftsman's concept of cherishing jade materials and not stopping..."

"This penis is powerful and powerful, with amazing momentum, and the details of the beast body are exquisite and noble. I borrowed from ilson. On the collections of the Cleveland Museum of Art, 'A jade carving in the Warring States Period was rare and sophisticated.'. I was fortunate to see such a good product. As a collector and appraiser of ancient jade, there is nothing happier than this."

Li Wenxuan's joy was beyond words, and he loved this Eastern Zhou topaz beast-shaped pendant to his heart.

"In your opinion, what is the market price of this Eastern Zhou beast-shaped pendant? "Although this Eastern Zhou beast-shaped pendant is of great collection value, Lei Xiaochen has no intention of collecting it. What he cares most about is the price.

After pondering for a while, Li Wenxuan said: "The market price of this Eastern Zhou beast-shaped pendant must be more than 10 million. If you meet a collector you particularly like, you may be able to sell for 13 million to 15 million."

He actually found a fine piece of ancient jade worth more than ten million yuan. Lei Xiaochen immediately smiled and was overjoyed.

"Xiao Lei, are you going to continue to collect this Eastern Zhou beast-shaped pendant? Or are you planning to sell it?" Li Wenxuan looked at Lei Xiaochen with a very eager look.

Lei Xiaochen did not have the idea of ​​collecting it. His plan was to exchange it for money as soon as possible and then invest it in the stock market and futures. In his opinion, as long as he had a certain amount of capital base, the returns in the futures and stock markets should be considerable, and it would definitely be much higher than the returns in the collection.

He is still a poor student with a career that has not yet developed. For the time being, he still has to put his career first. When he enters the rich class, he will consider the collection of antiques and cultural relics, and it will be too late to gradually increase his own foundation.

Li Wenxuan's love for this Eastern Zhou beast-shaped pendant is not concealed at all. He is now Lei Xiaochen's appraiser and appraiser. Lei Xiaochen still has to rely on him for appraisal and appraisal. Naturally, it is impossible to expose his intention to sell at this time, so as not to make any difference in appraisal and appraisal after Li Wenxuan has selfish intentions.

Lei Xiaochen said without hesitation: "There is no plan to sell it for the time being, and he should continue to collect it."

Li Wenxuan was a little regretful and said, "When you want to sell this Eastern Zhou beast-shaped pendant, tell me, I will definitely buy it at a high price. If you want to exchange for the collection, it is OK. I have been in the antique business for so many years, and the collection is still quite rich."

"No problem. If I have plans to sell or exchange collections, I will definitely consider Teacher Li first." Lei Xiaochen agreed happily.

"What is the last brocade box containing? It's not more precious than this Eastern Zhou beast-shaped pendant, right?" Li Wenxuan asked casually.

"The same piece of ancient jade placed in this brocade box is a long time, and its historical significance should be better than the Eastern Zhou beast-shaped pendant, but I don't know the price."

Lei Xiaochen opened the last brocade box while talking.

"It turned out to be the Sanxingdui God Man's erected article! This is really rare!" Li Wenxuan exclaimed.

Li Wenxuan took out the jade carefully and looked at it very carefully.

The sage in his hand was blue and yellow, with mercury black spots in between, and some were calcified and white spots. The sage was wearing a hair crown, feathered pattern decoration, wide eyebrows, rhombus, pointed nose, straight mouth, wide ears standing on both sides of the head, wearing clothes, half-holding with left and right hands, forming a round hole in the middle, and slender fingers.

This god's body is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, standing on the pedestal. The pedestal has two layers, the upper layer has an inverted animal face pattern, and the corners of the eyes are tilted downward. The lower layer is a three-dimensional trapezoidal shape, with the ground-relief on both sides of the front and back decorative animal face pattern, and the sides are decorated with cloud patterns.

Judging from the appearance, this jadeware is a typical Sanxingdui style. The mercury black spots and calcified white spots are obvious, and it is by no means formed by fraud.

After identifying several typical details again, Li Wenxuan could conclude that this is indeed a treasure of Sanxingdui jade!
