Like many bronze ware that are difficult to imitate, we still cannot know what craft was used in ancient times and made them.

So, until now, we can only laugh at ourselves and say that it is an ancient counterfeit.

There are many works with the best craftsmanship like this, such as the "Solunny Product of the World" God-faced Man who emerged from nowhere.

Its strange smile shape also caused a "fake storm"!

In the early 1990s, a mysterious man sent a bronze ware from China to Oxford University in the UK.

Then they punched 6 holes in the bronze ware and conducted a "authenticity assessment"!

Due to the "forgery rumors" in the industry, this Western Zhou cultural relic, who was over 3,100, suffered a physical injury...

Of course, it was also because of this destruction that a strange god-faced man appeared out of nowhere.

This bronze ware, called "Shenwei Gu (ou), is completely different from the usual bronze ware style.

In the early 1990s, it suddenly appeared in the European collection industry.

Because of its unique shape, it alarmed many bronze artifacts collectors around the world as soon as it appeared.

大, is a kind of utensil, belonging to the ancient Chinese wine utensil.

Its popularity and use period was during the Shang Dynasty and the Western Zhou Dynasty, and it was used to serve wine.

This "Shen Face" suddenly appeared, with a beam height of 33.8 cm and a meter height of 16.4 cm; a diameter length of 14 cm, an abdominal diameter length of 19.6 cm, a base diameter length of 15.2 cm, and a weight of 4.23 kg.

The cover and body of the utensil are both divine faces with two horns. Their faces are ferocious, their small eyes are suddenly opened, and they have two fangs sparrowed.

The most fascinating thing is the expression of the divine face. It seems to be smiling, but it reveals a hint of weirdness.

Its eyes looked straight ahead, as if it was looking at you, giving you a touch of sensation!

An owl stands at the top of the cover, with an owl-shaped button decorated in the center of the cover, and a long and erect stands in the middle of the lifting beam on the center of the cover.

On both sides of the lower part of the wing, a double-body snake, owl, tapir, elephant, snake, etc. are also decorated with strange and vivid and unique patterns.

Because it is a wine utensil, there is a beam on it.

This lifting beam consists of two dragons sharing one tail, with the dragon's tail upturned.

There is a monster composed of elephant trunk, cow head and sheep horn at both ends of the lifting beam.

Such a weird bronze slab, no matter who sees it, you will be surprised, hesitant and doubtful!

Because of such an exaggerated and weird bronze ware, among the bronze ware that appeared around the world at that time, was also a "single product"!

Most of the bronze ware in the Shang and Zhou dynasties were solemn and mighty ritual utensils because they symbolize the noble identity of the owner.

But this "god-faced man" is a bit "cute".

This contrast made countless people surprised at its shape, but also felt a little confused...

Of course, this may be because at that time, the strange shapes or very cute bronze ware in Sanxingdui had not yet been born.

So, when everyone discovered this bronze ware, they were surprised.

However, even so, major collection institutions from Europe, Wanwan and Neon at that time were also very interested in this bronze ware!

After a fierce competition, a Neon museum won it for 50 million!

However, not long after, things took a dramatic turn!

Some rumors suddenly circulated in the market - this "Western Zhou Divine Face" may be a fake!

As a result, Neon's buyers and the original sellers could no longer sit still!

Because the authenticity of this thing is related to their reputation in the field of bronze professionalism.

Once it was confirmed that this was a "fake", they became a laughing stock in this industry in the future...

Therefore, the sales of Shenmian Wu contacted the Oxford University of Yinglun and some research institutions in the Ugly Kingdom. They were preparing to conduct an "identity identification" for this bronze ware!

This is what the story says at the beginning of the story. Foreign institutions used a method called thermal luminescence test to punch six small holes in the Shenmian and took samples for testing.

The basis for this identification is the bronze ware from the Shang and Zhou dynasties of China, and the alloys used for casting have a fixed proportion.

After testing and comparison, we can determine whether the ratio of this bronze ware is the same as that...

The test results are gratifying. This is indeed a top-quality bronze ware that comes from the early Western Zhou Dynasty in China and is over 3,100 years old!

However, this Goddess face has experienced such a complex "controversy", in the industry's words, has become "dirty".

In the end, Neon decided to give up on buying...

At such an awkward moment, the Poly Art Museum from China bravely stood up!

They invited top bronze experts from our country to conduct a "real body identification" for this artifact.

The experts were amazed at the first sight of this god-faced figure, and their love was beyond words!

When the experts heard that foreign institutions actually used the method of damaged objects to conduct identification, the experts were all sorry!

Because the most professional identification of bronze ware is still Huaxia!

They can directly give identification results through the detailed characteristics of the utensil shape without any damage to the bronze utensil.

This "Divine Face" is indeed an early Western Zhou Dynasty, and there is no doubt that the authentic product is...

Experts strongly recommend that Poly buy this utensil so that the divine face with unique artistic attainments can return to our country’s embrace!

In the end, the Poly Art Museum spent only 10 million to buy this rare national treasure!

It is said that the person in charge of the Neon Museum that once purchased and returned the goods later went to Poly to visit "Shenmian". While he carefully admired it, he was upset!

Finally, he expressed his willingness to bid 50 million to buy this item from Poly!

Of course this proposal is impossible to achieve!

Once this rare "national treasure" of China returns to our country, how can it be lost overseas again?

This is the tortuous and bizarre story of "The God of the Western Zhou Dynasty"!

As for its origin, there is a saying that it may have come from the ancient tomb of Fufeng, Xishan, which was later collected by the palace and was robbed abroad during the Eight-Nation Alliance...

From the big "strange and cute" eyes of the godface, can we feel the vicissitudes of its lonely journey through more than three thousand years?

And how many top-level craftsmanship are hidden in the vicissitudes of more than three thousand years?

Nothing else is said, just a cover and belly of the instrument are cast with a kind and joyful image of the "divine face".

This anti-Shang and Zhou bronze ware is accustomed to the mysterious, serious and even hideous face of beast face patterns.

As soon as this Gu appeared in Shendu, the bronze expert immediately sighed that he had never seen before;

Famous oil painting artists met when they were destined to meet, and they were shocked to see the rare art.

This is the first time that it has made people feel so cute among the thousands of Shang and Zhou bronzes.

This is no wonder those who see it, who think it is one of the works with the highest artistic value among the bronzes in the world.
