A
storied pavilion and courtyard have been embroidered in scenery of
fantastically shaped rocks, tall pines, and large mountains rising in the
distance. The motifs of this scroll are embroidered in long satin stitches
using thick and rather loose and fluffy strands of silk floss. The colors
are fresh and bright, while the glitter of the silken strands is quite
dazzling. All of the tree trunks have been retouched with brush and color.
In the lower right corner the embroidered inscription reads,
"Reverently embroidered by K'ung Hsien-p'ei's wife of the Yu
Family." Below the inscription appear two embroidered seals, the
first reading "Official-Servant from the Yu Family," and the
second reading "Reverently Embroidered."
