Scroll of woven silk with a picture drawn in ink and embroidered in silk thread. In the lower half of the scroll is a rocky landscape with two stags beneath a tree. Above is a man riding on a dragon through the clouds. This may be either Ma She-Hwang, a legendary character, said to have been one of the physicians who flourished under the legendary Emperor Hwang Ti (ca.2697 BC), or Lo Chen-jen, a hermit. Both these men were carried off into the skies by dragons. Above is another figure, wearing a hat and riding on a carp. This is most probably K'in Kao, a recluse of the Principality of Chow, who was skilled on the K'in or Chinese lute, and wandered about practising incantations. He was taken down to the river world by the King of Fishes and returned after a month, riding on a carp. The picture is mounted on a scroll covered with silk, with a roller at each end and a silk cord for hanging at the top.
