Message The item is wrongly dated as Liangzhu! The work do not look Liangzhu. It looks old, but not that old. The Bi is too thin, and the hole does not look like Liangzhu workmanship. Jade type is also not right for Liangzhu. The items appeared that it had been burnt. It is more likely a Zhou to Han item. As for rarity, it is only average. So it is overpriced! I don't think auction house would take in items like that because it does not possess enough beauty that the buyers prefer. Sorry for the harsh words! But if we are looking at the high dollar receipt from a pretigeous seller instead of the item's true beauty and rarity, then we are not true collectors but investors. This is definitely not a good investment after paying a high price tag, because it is hard to resell for the same price that was paid for. Post a Response |
