There were only two tel. bidders after the price passed $5Million.
The auctioner incremented the bidding $100,000. at a time- since $5M.
It should be at least $200,000 or more.
Two bidder's desire to get the one piece increased/resulted the price to JUMP from $5M to $15M.
This is the typical dangerous auction trap which I experienced last auction on the Gerhard Richter's "BETTY" piece.
The room was packed by people who wanted to see the results.
It was very rare for the antiquity auction to attract so many people.
The piece was a prominent masterpiece !”
だって～～～
そもそもThe estimate was $3-5Million
my father was saying:
"The final price will be expected more than 5million, much cheaper than a Warhol.
This is an unbelievable piece. There are no chips, in perfect condition, excellent carving on the best established aesthetic base.
This carver's name is of course unknown, but a dozen pieces are recognized by his hand.
I am now confident to say that this carver is the descendant of the Atlantis which high culture was perished 10,000 years ago.
This guy was the master of the Cycladic sculpture and his style prevailed all over the area around 5,000 years ago.
This one is really an amazing piece, out of this world."
Christiesも以前から大々的に宣伝してたし、

記録的だったのね～
それでも断然modern paintingsより
桁が違う（安い）って不思議よね～
