Detailed Description
A vertical hanging scroll features a central rectangular artwork panel framed by multiple borders. The artwork panel has a light cream-colored background with subtle mottling. Black ink calligraphy, arranged in vertical lines, covers much of the panel, with characters varying in size and density. Interspersed with the calligraphy are stylized floral or leaf motifs. Some motifs are rendered in a pale yellow-gold, appearing as faint outlines or solid shapes. Other motifs are depicted in a dark gray or black, with more defined solid forms and outlines. The central artwork is surrounded by a wide, plain light beige border. This inner border is flanked by wider side borders in a muted olive-green or grayish-brown color. These side borders are adorned with a repeating pattern of stylized gold-yellow cloud or floral designs. Thin, dark horizontal strips are visible at the very top and bottom edges of the entire scroll.
