According to research, the body of the bronze statue of the zodiac is a stone carving wearing a robe, the head is a realistic style modeling, the casting is fine, and the subtleties such as folds and fluff on the head of the beast are clear and realistic. The material used to cast the head of the beast is the red copper refined by the Qing court at that time, the appearance is deep in color, the inside contains fine light, and it has not been corroded after a hundred years, which can be called a must.

Nowadays, the head of the 12 zodiac animals is different, and even the red copper of the animal head is oxidized, and there are many scratches on the face.

What is rare is that the lines around the dragon head are very clear, and the texture is very complex, like a vivid dragon with its mouth entrenched there, lifelike.

"This ...... Is this a real dragon head?" asked

an expert in a trembling voice.

Hu Jinzhong nodded, and explained with a smile: "This is the treasure I auctioned back in France, I saw it at the French auction at the beginning, and I thought at that time, if I could get it auctioned at the auction, it would be

a lot of money......" "Later, I spent a lot of money to buy the dragon head. With that

, Hu Jinzhong took out a memory card and handed it to the assistant next to him.

After the assistant inserts the memory card into the USB port, it starts to display various information about the dragon's head.

"Now let's start appraising this treasure!"

"The appraisal process is very fast, and I am sure that you will not let me down in terms of appraising treasures!" Hu

Jinzhong said with a smile.

"Well, let's get started.

Expert Wang Hai nodded.

So, everyone gathered around and watched the identification.

Lin Beiran also came over.

Many experts had a heated discussion and evaluation around the dragon head.

"The melting point of red copper is high and the fluidity is poor, and it is very easy to fail in the casting process, but it gives the dragon's head a deep and heavy color!"

"Listening to this sound and echo is indeed refining copper, there is no doubt that this is different from the current electrolytic copper, the refining copper of the ancient method is a practical ancient method of refining 12 times, and only 2 taels of red copper are produced in a pound of copper, and the changes in copper quality are obvious. You can hear the weight of history from the sound!"

an expert said while observing, analyzing, and finally confirming.

"Well, I heard that, too.

"Indeed, the sound of the other seven songs is the same!" the

experts nodded in agreement.

Lin Beiran couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly as he listened to their words.

At this time, another expert touched the dragon's head.

"Delicate and slippery, the tentacles are warm and shiny, and it feels like touching real jade! And the lines of this dragon's head are clear and clear, without a trace of flaws, whether it is from the dark engraving or the clear lines, the lines are delicate, the lines are smooth, and it is made of superior craftsmanship at a glance

!" "Not bad

!" "This is cast by the lost wax method!" We all know that the casting process of the lost wax method has a history of more than 2,000 years in China, and the star cultural relics cast by this method have the national treasure Zeng Hou Yizun plate that everyone is very familiar with. "

The lost wax method, as the name suggests, is to carve the shape of the vessel to be cast with soft beeswax exactly apart, and then wrap the clay tightly around it, and after firing at high temperature, the beeswax liquefies and flows out, leaving a pottery fan with a cavity, which is made into a mold for casting bronze.

"The bronze statue of the dragon's head is large in size and complex in structure, but even the flowing mane and towering antennae on the neck are all formed at one time, without the slightest flaw and a trace of welding!"

All the experts present expressed their opinions one after another, and they were all in amazement.

Expert Wang Hai and Director Zheng also felt that this was indeed the dragon's head that had been missing for more than a century.

But they didn't see Lin Beiran express their opinions, and they couldn't help but wonder a little.

Expert Wang Hai looked at Lin Beiran and said with a smile: "Lin Xiaoyou, what do you think?" "

Uh......"

Lin Beiran, who was suddenly named, was stunned for a moment, and looked up at Expert Wang Hai and the experts.

"He's just a little hairy kid, what does he understand?" At

this time, the middle-aged man standing next to Wang Hai's expert couldn't help but sneer.

"It's Wang Lao! We've been playing with this for decades, you don't think we're as good as a child, do you?" hahaha......

"Many experts laughed in unison.

"Uh......"

Lin Beiran heard this, and a wry smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"Everyone, please sit down and listen to me!" Lin

Beiran smiled.

Everyone didn't understand what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd, but when they saw that Wang Lao had sat down, the other experts could only sit down.

Lin Beiran said with a smile: "Elder Wang and Director Zheng can stand up!"

Expert Wang Hai and Director Zheng glanced at each other, and then they both slowly stood up.

At this time, Expert Wang Hai waved his hand towards Lin Beiran and motioned for him to speak.

Lin Beiran didn't talk nonsense, and said straight to the point: "With all due respect, everyone here is spicy chicken

!" "You!"

Hearing this, everyone stood up angrily.

Lin Beiran didn't care about their reactions at all, and continued: "There is no truth or falsehood in the antique industry, only the old and the new, you should all know it, right

?" "Nonsense!"

"You want you to say it?"

Everyone scolded one after another.

Lin Beiran said with a smile: "I admit that what you said just now is right. Although I haven't been as close as you are to the seven songs that have returned, I have also enjoyed the Xuande furnace. "

The pulp of the Xuande furnace is said to have five colors, namely Buddhist scripture paper, chestnut shell, eggplant skin, tang pear, and brown; If you look at the pulp according to the pulp, which kind of pulp

does the dragon head belong to?" "Besides, you can see that these subtle scratches can reflect the light? Could it be that Mr. Hu, after you get the beast head, you don't play with your wife and play with the dragon's head day and night?"

"This ......"

The experts were dumbfounded, and they all looked at Hu Jinxian.

Indeed, according to the pulp, the dragon prime minister is too delicate compared to the pulp of the other seven songs, and logically speaking, the scratches on it should have no reflective points, unless it is carefully polished to achieve the same texture as the original beast head.

Hu Jinxian didn't speak, and immediately an expert retorted: "What if the scratches made during the game are really smoothed out again?" "

Okay! This can also be explained! You all know that in fact, the head of the zodiac beast is a faucet, and you can ...... it if you

take a closer look at the water outlet" Lin Beiran smiled and pointed in a direction, motioning the experts to take a closer look.

"Don't look at it!"

At this time, Hu Jinxian on the side finally spoke.

He applauded and said: "I didn't expect it, I really came to the right place, and I chose the right one! The inland is really full of talents!" Experts

: What do you mean

by ???? This dragon head is fake?

I only heard Hu Jinxian continue: "In fact, the dragon head has always been on the treasure island, and it has been passed down to me from my grandfather's generation, and this one you see is indeed a one-to-one high-precision replica!"

Just now, this little friend said well, antiques are only new and old, there is no real or fake, but this is actually a real old thing!".
