The moment I saw that certification from elite auction, it rung a bell. A couple of years ago he tried to get me kicked off an Asian Art facebook group when I suggested that the miniature Qin Dynasty bronze horse and chariot group he was offering was dubious (for only $1000,000.USD), as there is only one in the world at the Shaanxi Museum of History. I think that a lot of these exorbitant prices are a way to launder ill gotten gains from China. Li Yanjun sums it up “China’s antique business is ridiculous but, you can’t help thinking, at least it’s interesting.”
