Wu Yun stood up and gave his seat to the three experts, preparing to let them take a closer look at the items.
The three of them simultaneously took out prepared white gloves from their bags. After putting them on, Ye Peilan made an inviting gesture toward Mary.

Ye Peilan extended her hands and carefully cradled the bowl, which was only slightly larger than an adult's fist, and began to examine it closely.
