What is a Chinese scroll?
1 Answer
A Chinese scroll is a painting or calligraphy painted on silk or rice paper that has been mounted onto a heavier paper or silk with wooden rollers at both ends. They can be rolled up for easy storage, and can be viewed hung on the wall, or unrolled along a long table.
