A Visit to the Palace Museum

As with my visit at the Palace Museum in Taipei, this scroll details the visits of envoys from many nations at the capital of ancient imperial China.

Envoys in various garb and nationality intricately drawn and recorded on this parchment scroll.

Each envoy is preceded by their nationality in the rectangular box in pink red.

This scroll is marvelous for the detailed and intricate drawings of facial features, physique and clothing.

A ferocious beast, similar with four legged friendly animals (dogs).

Other scrolls as this are also at the NPM. See the link below for more exhibits.
