DescriptionThis hanging scroll is a color painting on silk mounted in the Japanese style. The painting shows a fruit-bearing branch extending from the right edge. The branch is covered in dark green leaves and three yellow fruits are attached. The background has two bamboo stalks (one to the right and one towards the center) painted in black ink. Two faint flower (?) sprays overlap the bamboo and branch.
