Detailed Description
A vertical scroll features bamboo rendered in ink on a light brown ground. A prominent, thick bamboo stalk rises from the lower left, extending upwards towards the center. This main stalk is segmented by horizontal lines, and its surface shows variations in dark gray and black ink, indicating texture. Several thinner bamboo shoots emerge from the lower left, partially obscured by the main stalk. Clusters of dark, pointed bamboo leaves are depicted with varying shades of ink, some appearing dense and others more sparse. A significant group of leaves extends from the upper right of the main stalk, reaching towards the upper right corner of the central panel. Another cluster of leaves is visible lower on the main stalk, and a few individual leaves are scattered across the upper left and mid-right areas. A small, square red seal is visible on the left side of the main bamboo stalk, slightly above its midpoint. The central area is framed by decorative borders. The inner border consists of a thin, light green band with a subtle geometric pattern at the top and bottom. The outer borders on the left and right are wider, light beige, and feature a repeating floral or vine motif in a slightly darker, muted tone.
