silk scroll
Rolled textile art
A silk scroll is a document or artwork created on silk fabric, typically associated with East Asian calligraphy and painting traditions.
The silk is mounted on a backing and attached to wooden rollers, allowing it to be rolled up for storage and unrolled for display.
Silk scrolls were prized for ceremonial documents and fine art: The museum's collection includes silk scrolls from the Ming dynasty.
