This was bought from the Brooklyn Museum store in the late 80's. Any assistance in translating the script and identifying the subject matter would be appreciated.

Dear I. Nagy, Again, many thanks. Were prints like this sold or displayed in temples- what were they used for? Any guess whether this is original (if so likely dating?) or reprinted? Regards, Norman
