Four rectangular panels with a curved top edge, arranged side-by-side on a white background with visible brown stains. Each panel contains a large black Chinese character at the top and several lines of smaller Chinese text below. The text within each panel is enclosed by a dotted line rectangle, and the entire panel is outlined with a thin black line. Vertical black text runs along the left and right edges of the image outside the panels. The panels are evenly spaced and appear to be hand drawn. The image is titled "Scroll by Anonymous".
