Title: The Crane Cries from Book of Poetry
Medium: Solid wood frame, silk brocade, and paper cut from late Qing dynasty paintings, embellished with multiple decorative techniques and scattered gold leaf.
Content:
In the marsh the crane cries;
Her voice is heard for miles.
Hid in the deep fish lies
Or it swims by the isles.
Pleasant a garden’s made
By sandal trees standing still
And small trees in their shade.
Stones from another hill
May be used to polish jade.
In the marsh the crane cries;
Her voice is heard on high.
By the isle the fish lies
Or in tile deep near-by.
Pleasant the garden in our eyes
Where sandal trees stand still
And paper mulberries’neath them.
Stones from another hill
May be used to polish gem.
