Double Happiness Character
A large Chinese woodblock print in which the character for double happiness is built from crowded figures of officials, children and attendants set against gold cloud scrolls. A seated, robed deity in orange and red sits at the center, with bright green and red accents across the sheet.
Look closer: A small inscribed banner held by a figure in the upper right carries characters too small to read clearly.
