Subject:Calligraphy Hanging Rolls
Posted By: Marcus Sun, Apr 10, 2022 IP: 154.28.188.171

Hello, we have a two of calligraphy hanging rolls, 50 x 13 inches. Present from a wealthy family in Seoul. The scrolls were never displayed and were kept rolled in a box for 50 years, no exposure to light. Thank you!

Two Hanwa 漢瓦 or Han tile-end rubbing scrolls with explanations in ordinary and seal scripts.
The tile-end or Wadang 瓦當 refers to the obstruction of the eaves barrel tile in ancient Chinese architecture of Eastern and Western Han Dynasties. Tiles inscribed with auspicious phrases or owner names etc. became popular during the Han Dynasty
Left side rubbings,
Semi-circular; 上林 Shanglin - Name
Circular;   黄山 Huang Shan - Name

Right side rubbing,
永奉無彊 - Perpetual and borderless respect

The upper part with the name of artist is not shown on the 3rd picture, The last two characters read,
.....盙銘 - Inscribed by .....fu
The seal is too complicated to decipher.

With regards,
I.Nagy

Hello Mr. Nagy,

thank you so much for your input! We were trying for almost a week to find some information about these scrolls and nobody could help!

Your answer is most helpful and we really appreciate your time and expertise :)

Sorry for the incomplete name of the artist. Can you please have a look at the complete name and maybe you can decipher the author?

We thought it could Oh Se Cheng...

Thank you so much and beste regards,
Marcus

Thank you for the new pictures,

After taking a close look at the pictures, I came to the conclusion that the images of tile-ends thought to be rubbings, actually were painted by hand probably from rubbings.
The bronze script calligraphies on the lower two-thirds of the scrolls have been copied from ancient ritual bronze vessels called Su(餗) and Fu (簠). The regular script inscriptions on the left sides of the bronze script calligraphies descibe the period provenance of vessels in archaic Chinese, respectively.
The last three characters read,
餗簠銘 Su and Fu Inscription
Names of ancient ritual vessels used for holding boiled rice.

The seal imprints are somewhat smudged and too
intricated to decipher.

I am ashanmed of myself, but I do not know Korean poainter named, Oh Se Cheng (呉世..)

With regards,
I.Nagy
