Visual Summary

Brief Description

Vertical lines of black calligraphy on a light brown, aged paper scroll with faint red seals

Detailed Description

A vertical scroll of light brown paper features black ink calligraphy. The paper has a mottled, uneven texture with darker brown areas and lighter, almost beige tones. Black ink calligraphy is arranged in several vertical columns. The longest columns are on the right, followed by two shorter columns to the left, and a final, very short column further left. The characters exhibit varying sizes and brushstroke thickness. The ink is a deep, matte black. Towards the bottom left, faint red seal impressions appear as irregular reddish-brown smudges, partially obscured and faded.
