Detailed Description
Two vertical scrolls are displayed side-by-side against a dark background. Each scroll has light beige top and bottom sections, with a patterned brown border framing a central light beige painted area. The left scroll depicts a branch with several red and orange maple leaves extending from its upper left corner. Below the leaves, three fish with dark backs and lighter undersides swim in light blue-green water, indicated by wavy lines. Small, dark calligraphic text and two red seals are visible in the lower left of the painted section. The right scroll shows a brown rock formation in its mid-right, from which a plant with light pink and white flowers and green leaves grows. Below the rock, three fish, similar in appearance to those in the left scroll, swim in light blue-green water. Small, dark calligraphic text and two red seals are visible in the lower right of this painted section. Both scrolls have light-colored wooden rollers at the bottom and metal hangers at the top.
