Features: Artifacts evolve into cultural relics with historical, scientific, and artistic value through the changes of time and the accumulation of history. This volume includes miscellaneous items such as lacquerware, horn carvings, ivory and bone artifacts, glassware, snuff bottles, seal stones, smudges, clothing, and other miscellaneous items that do not fall under major categories. Each item is described with elements such as name, origin, era, specifications, rarity, collector, expert valuation, and potential appreciation value. The book also provides objective evaluations of the artistry, technological level, and cultural collection value of each artifact. There are three distinctive features of this volume: first, it is the first to classify folk collectibles, using a ten-level system to assess their rarity; second, it offers a comprehensive evaluation of the intrinsic value of the artifacts themselves; and third, it predicts the future appreciation potential of collectible artifacts to serve as a reference for collectors. The purpose of compiling this book is to disseminate correct and scientific knowledge of artifact collection, guiding consumers to make rational purchases and avoid being misled by the market or erroneous theories.
