Subject:2. Chinese painted scrolls religious theme with text
Posted By: Vicky Mon, Sep 14, 2020 IP: 2a02:c7d:da5e:300:c4
There are 6 scrolls in this series so I will add other images in a previous post. I'm not sure if they are in the correct order but would be really interested in translation on the text and to understand what the scenes depict. Also how old they might be. Any ideas or information would be very welcome.

(The "Crime" is still on the man's back - one may see it at a glance)

Thank you Nagy. That is fascinating. I now understand the story being told in the scrolls thanks to your translations. Much appreciated.
