Visual Summary

Brief Description

Rectangular gold surface with dark calligraphic text in columns and subtle, lighter cloud-like patterns

Detailed Description

A horizontal rectangular image features a gold background with calligraphic text. The entire surface is a rich, textured gold, appearing slightly mottled in places. Numerous faint, lighter gold patterns, resembling stylized clouds or floral motifs, are scattered across the gold background. These patterns are subtle and blend into the background. On the right side of the image, a prominent block of dark brown or black calligraphic text is arranged in three vertical columns. The rightmost column reads: "茶膳唐等侍衛金井等高街". The middle column reads: "道光拾伍年拾月初拾日". The leftmost column reads: "無尚膳正加參領德祥領之進". On the left side of the image, another less distinct area of dark brown or black calligraphic text is arranged in multiple short vertical lines. This text is contained within a faint, rectangular border that is slightly darker than the surrounding gold. The characters in this left section are more faded and less clearly defined than those on the right.
