Brief Description
A vertical scroll with a large, imperfect gray circle above black calligraphy on beige paper
Detailed Description
A tall, vertical scroll features a central light beige paper panel framed by plain, lighter borders. At the top and bottom of the central panel are horizontal decorative bands. These bands display a repeating pattern of stylized, swirling cloud-like or floral motifs in muted brown and gold tones. Below the top decorative band, in the upper third of the central panel, is a large, hand-drawn circle. This circle, rendered in dark gray or black ink, has an imperfect, slightly smudged outline, with the interior remaining the light beige of the paper. Below the circle, occupying the lower half of the central panel, is a section of black ink calligraphy. The script is arranged in vertical lines, starting from the upper right of this section and extending downwards and slightly to the left. The characters are fluid and varied in size. The bottom decorative band mirrors the top one.
