The hanging scroll is distinguished by its high level of craftsmanship of meticulous drawing and colouring and lavish use of precious mineral pigments. The scroll, constructed in standard hanging scroll form, is vertically mounted with an upper stave and a roller at the bottom. Both stave and stave are made of hard wood. The picture is backed with three or four layers of xuan paper. Border strips of yellow have been attached to all four sides. Narrower strips of silk in dark blue are further added between the picture and the yellow silk strips. Protective flap, made of modern heavy cloth with printed pattern, is attached at the back.
