A pair of hanging scrolls with central inscription in Manchu script, dated yimao [乙卯] (1795 ± 60) inscribed by Yiyuan Hahadai Bumei (怡園哈哈岱捕梅). Yellow paper decorated with a large flower motif in white, and a red seal-stamp, affixed to a paper scroll with a cylindrical roller. The Manchu script is in bold thick lettering in one line down the centre, with smaller Chinese characters on both sides.
The Manchu is a transcription of a Chinese couplet with the first line on scroll A and the second line on scroll B.
Scroll A (Or 13555 A): Line 1 of couplet:
Siyei an ši šan ze giyan du (ᠰᡳᡪᡝᡞ ᠠᠨ ᡧᡞ ᡧᠠᠨ ᡯᡝ ᡤᡞᡪᠠᠨ ᡩᡠ)
Xie an shi shan ze jian du (謝安石山澤間度)
Scroll B (Or 13555 B): Line 2 of couplet:
Su ze jan šen siyan jung ǰin (ᠰᡠ ᡯᡝ ᠵᠠᠨ ᡧᡝᠨ ᠰᡞᡪᠠᠨ ᠵᡠᡢ ᡰᡞᠨ)
Su zi zhan shen xian zhong ren (蘇子瞻神仙中人)
Both scrolls are labelled with white stickers reading "23.A.b". Written on the outside of each scroll in brown ink: "12 July 1873. South Manchoo". The scrolls are also numbered in the same ink: "(24)" for scroll A and "(25)" for scroll B. These two scrolls are boxed together with two other scrolls (OR 13556 A and B) of similar size and date of purchase.
