Did You Know?

Figures in the pavilion are studying a scroll inscribed with the character for longevity (shou 壽).
A horizontally oriented silk and gold tapestry depicts a landscape framed by a dark floral border. Numerous small figures with light skin tone play among stylized blue and green hills under a gold sky with wavy, multicolored clouds. In the foreground, children boat on a pond beside a building with a sloped roof. At the right, others cross an orange bridge toward a pavilion. Intricate gold-threaded details fill the scene.
