Treasure Hunt all over the World

The great discovery that excited Ye Tian was in the second booth, which radiated dazzling white light and more than ten layers of charming halos, which caught his eyes tightly in an instant.

Fortunately, he was wearing light gray sunglasses, so no one could see his bright eyes! And no one knows that a treasure is right in front of them!

This is a fine piece of modern art, from the 1950s, with extraordinary artistic value and high market value! Tens of millions of dollars are just the beginning!

Although the heart is extremely excited and ecstatic! But Ye Tian's expression didn't change at all, he was still relaxed and natural, talking and laughing happily as he walked forward with everyone.

He didn't go over to take this treasure right away, but suppressed his excitement, and walked around from the first booth as usual, gradually approaching the goal!

There are too many eyes paying attention to yourself, if Cheng Yaojin is killed halfway, and someone cuts off his beard or raises the price, it will be a big loss!

More haste less speed! Ye Tian still understands this truth!

The first stall also deals in antiques, and the owner of the stall is a white man in his thirties.

Before walking to the booth, Ye Tian's eyes could not help but light up again, and he let out a slight snort.

There were a few good antiques on the stall, not priceless treasures, but very distinctive, and two of them immediately caught his attention.

These are two handmade wooden masks from Native American, Indian art.

The history of the mask is not very long, less than a hundred years old, exuding white light with five or six halos, it has a certain artistic and collection value, but it is not a very precious antique.

Ye Tian was interested because of the shapes of these two masks and the aboriginal culture they represented.

Standing in front of the booth and admiring it for a while, he then pointed to the mask and asked:

"Good afternoon, buddy, can I have a look at these two crow masks? I didn't expect to see the K clan masks here!"

"Hello, Steven, of course, please take a look!"

The stall owner said with a smile, a gleam of joy flashed in his eyes.

"OK!"

Ye Tian nodded, leaned over and picked up one of the masks,

Start to appreciate it seriously.

This is a crow mask, to be precise a mask in the shape of a crow's head.

The mask is carved from black walnut wood, with sharp and lifeless eyes, an everted nose, a beak about 50 cm long, and a brown rope symbolizing feathers on the top of the mask.

The various organs of the crow's head are expressed by the sculptor with unique Indian artistic techniques. The shapes are weird and exaggerated, but they are lifelike!

Especially those eyes that are more white than black, so cold! Sen Leng! There was a breath of death, and just looking at it made people feel chills in the bottom of their hearts!

The bottom of the mask was cut into a bowl shape, which was used to buckle on the top of the head instead of wearing it on the face, and the bird's beak protruded long forward.

This is a unique mask of the K tribe of Indians. It is a special priest's tool. Not only do other races do not have such weird masks, even other Indian tribes do not have such weird masks.

While admiring the masks, Ye Tian also took a quick look at the two masks.

Sadly, there are no hidden secrets, no hieroglyphs, just two masks.

After flipping through the mask in his hand, he looked up at the stall owner and asked curiously:

"Dude, this is a special mask for priests of the K family in Canada. It is rare outside. How did it appear here? How do you have these two things? Is there any story?"

"Wow! Steven, your vision is so sharp! You can even recognize this thing, I admire it! To be honest, although this thing is mine, I only know a little bit!"

The stall owner gave a thumbs up and praised a few words, his eyes full of admiration! Master!

The same goes for the others, all looking at Ye Tian in admiration.

He even knows such a remote thing, is there anything he doesn't know? Antique encyclopedia!

"It's normal that you don't understand these two masks. There are not many K people, and there are even fewer things passed down from their tribe! Most people don't know each other!"

Ye Tian said with a smile, with a slightly smug tone.

He learned this knowledge in the museum. After visiting the museum so many times, he can't visit it in vain!

"I bought these two masks at the Navajo Tribal Reservation. At that time, I bought them because they were fresh and I had never seen them before. I didn't know their specific meanings.

After I came back, I searched online, and found out that this thing came from the K tribe, an Indian tribe in Canada, and it was a tool for priests.

This time I came to Corridor 127, I threw them at the booth to see if I could sell them, but no one cared about them at all, you are the first one to recognize their origin! "

The stall owner was a little helpless as he explained the origin of the two masks.

"Hahaha"

There was a burst of laughter at the scene, and everyone laughed.

The stall owner also smiled awkwardly, but after all, he made a living in the flea market, so he naturally had a tried and tested face, and he immediately returned to normal.

After a short pause, he asked again expectantly:

'Steven, since you know about this thing, let's talk about it. I hope it can clear up some of my doubts. It would be great if you could appraise these two masks and give a rough estimate. ! "

"Yes, Steven, let's explain it. I believe everyone is very curious and wants to know more about it!"

Someone at the scene immediately echoed, and everyone's eyes were full of curiosity, obviously the same idea.

"Honey, this mask is too weird, I want to know about it too!"

Betty whispered, looking curiously at the two masks.

"OK! Since everyone wants to know, let me talk about these two masks!"

Ye Tian said loudly with a smile, agreeing to everyone's request.

Because the meanings represented by these two masks are quite special, although they have certain artistic value and market value, and may earn a lot of dollars, Ye Tian is not interested in them, and has no desire to keep them in his pocket !

He doesn't want to have two masks that represent the soul of man-eating birds and are closely related to death in the car all the time during the rest of the journey. That feeling will definitely not be comfortable!

After a little tidying up his thoughts, he quickly began to explain the two masks.

"To understand these two masks, one must understand the Indian tribe that made and used this mask, the K (Kwakwakawakw) tribe that lives north of Vancouver, Canada, by the sea.

K is the abbreviation, and the full name is Kwakwajakwa. They are the earliest aborigines who settled on Vancouver Island. They have lived on the island for thousands of years and are still an important part of the island's population.

In the winter sacrifice of the K clan, there is a very important dance the-Hamat’sa. In the dance, the protagonist is possessed by the soul of the legendary man-eating bird, thus losing his reason and becoming no different from a beast.

Through dancing, the villagers will gradually drive away the protagonist's beast features and regain his peace and wisdom. The three most prominent tribesmen in the village will wear three kinds of man-eating bird masks when dancing.

What you see now are two of the masks, one with a straight beak, one with a curved beak, and the other with a very wide beak and a length between these two, representing another kind of man-eating bird

The K tribe considers these masks to be sacred carriers. After the sacrifice, they will place them in a hidden place and tie the beaks with ropes to prevent them from discussing how to fly out and eat people in the middle of the night! "

A trace of fear and disgust flashed in the eyes of everyone at the scene. It turned out to be related to death!

The two reporters who were admiring the other mask immediately put the mask back on the booth as if they were getting an electric shock.

Then both of them let out a long breath, patted their chests, and looked terrified.

Old beauty is also superstitious!

Especially when encountering mysterious things related to soul and death, many people avoid them for fear!

The stall owner was completely dumbfounded, he stared at Ye Tian dumbfounded, and his heart was in a mess in an instant.

It turned out to be a man-eating bird mask, who would sell this crap? Who is willing to buy this kind of thing for collection? Isn't that just asking for awkwardness when you are full?

You shouldn't let this guy, Steven, appraise it. It's useless to fool people now!

At this moment, the stall owner was almost remorseful, wishing he could give himself two slaps.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Ye Tian laughed softly.

Knew it would be like this! However, here comes the turning point!

"Because of cultural differences, people have different understandings of things. In everyone's eyes, these two masks are ominous things, but for people of Kua Kua Jia Kua, they are sacred carriers!

As far as the two masks themselves are concerned, they should be from the 1930s. They are made of exquisite materials, exquisitely carved, authentic, and well preserved. They are considered a good Indian antique.

There are only more than 5,000 people in the Kua Kua Jia Kua tribe, and there are not many people who inherit this skill, and there are even fewer masks that flow out of the tribe. Rare things are more expensive! So this kind of antiques are still sought after by many people in the market! !

If anyone at the scene is interested in Native American art, you can communicate with the stall owner, negotiate a suitable price, and get these two very rare masks in your pocket. This is a good choice! "

Before the words were finished, the stall owner's eyes lit up, as if he had been brought back to life, and he saw hope again.

And the way he looked at Ye Tian was full of gratitude and eagerness, and he wished he could rush up to give him a warm hug immediately.

Buddy might send a sum today! All of this is thanks to Steven!

Even if no one buys these two Indian antiques today, as long as there is an appraisal conclusion given by Steven, is there any need to worry about selling these two masks? There is no such problem at all!

The rest of the people at the scene were dumbfounded, looking at the two masks on the booth in disbelief.

The two ominous things turned into treasures in an instant! This change is too fast!

Shocked, some people's eyes started to heat up, and they were even ready to take action immediately!

taboo! superstitious! To hell with it!

In front of the green Franklin, these can be completely ignored!

Ye Tian didn't pause for a moment, and continued to overweight everyone.

"As for these two Indian antiques, I will not announce the estimated price immediately. Those who are interested can show their skills. Bargaining is also a kind of fun, and I believe everyone will enjoy it.

When you complete the transaction and clear the money and the goods, if both parties still want to know the valuation I gave, then I will tell you in private, and it will be clear at a glance whether it is a profit or a loss! "

After speaking, he picked up another mask, ready to continue admiring this rare Aboriginal art.

He just admired it, and didn't have the slightest idea of ​​taking it for himself.

There are some things that you have to look at, and don’t have to be in your bag, such as Tang Sancai, these two masks, mummies and the like!

"clap clap"

Ye Tian had just picked up the mask, before he started admiring it, a burst of applause suddenly came from his ears.

Immediately afterwards, another slightly arrogant voice came.

"The explanation is great! As expected of a famous professional treasure hunter, I want these two Indian masks!"
