Left Scroll from Calligraphy Couplet
A vertical scroll of ink calligraphy in cursive script, seven large characters running down the sheet from the top right. A signature and two red seals sit at the lower left, identifying the author as the compiler of Song lyrics. The paper is plain and unpatterned, with the strokes showing varied ink tone and energy.
Look closer: Two red seals and a signature sit beside the text in the lower left.
