About this work

This image shows a section of a scroll, possibly from a religious text. The text is written in Chinese characters on a yellowed background, with visible tears and aging marks. The characters are densely packed and appear to be written in a formal script. The text is likely a passage from a Buddhist scripture, given the style of the characters and the format of the scroll. The aging marks and tears suggest that the scroll is quite old. To learn more about the artistic style and historical context of this piece, look up the museum where it's held: the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
