The tremor in his voice is the purest joy, it is so beautiful

[rebeccahopkins]

Appraisers wait their whole lives to come across a piece like this, some never even get the chance. And when they do, if they do, one could hardly fault them for getting choked up. It’s enough to bring a grown man to tears. A true professional highlight.

[WildWildWest]

Always loved this appraisal. Seeing how emotional he got, is something special.

[Francoberry]

To put things in perspective, this thing is over 1100 years old...

Truly astonishing to think of the amount of world events this was around for

[barryryan]

How wonderful to see an expert almost brought to tears by the art he loves...

[heatherelf]

My second favorite Roadshow moment ever, after the old man and his Navajo blanket!

[steamymuffin]

Great video. These people are usually quiet stoic but to see his emotion and passion getting him choked up is pretty special.

[greenleaves]

Appraiser was awestruck by the piece... imagine how old that is? But is still in perfect condition like it was crafted yesterday!

I remember visiting the Virginia Museum of fine arts for the first time. I cried like a baby. There is something special about being in the same room as works of art that have survived thousands of years.

[MrLookitspam]

When your family gives you a gift and it’s practically priceless you are truly blessed.

[JW-vofi]

The way he feels about the ancient art touches my heart

[Soto]

Passion and emotion is a gift of humanity❤

[MrSubmariner]

Now theres a man with a passion for great art.

[celticminstrel]

Now there's a man who truly loves his work.

[blissm]

I adore his dedication to the love of art.

[imyourgodmachine]

I find it wonderful and it truly touches my heart when I see somebody so passionate about something.

[TheJennyg]

this man truly loves history & the treasures from the past

[neiltucker]

This masterpiece is already ancient now and will be around for thousands of years to come.
For once it is lovely to see something so beautiful surviving.

[richardwalker]

priceless works of art can never be duplicated or replaced
the same can be said of living things- emotions, memories, love, beauty

[HughLlewellyn]

Her underwhelmed "wow" made my jaw drop. That much money would be LIFE CHANGING for me. haha
He had the more appropriate reaction to this piece with his joyful emotion evident. :)
