The Ararat Chinese Heritage Society kindly donated three scrolls to Gum San.
The first beautiful scroll is a traditional painting of a cucumber vine and required mounting but now hangs on our wall.
The second scroll is of a mountain scene in black and white. It depicts mountains with a stream running through the centre flanked by houses with a bridge crossing the stream. On the bridge a lady surveys the scenery while two men fish.
The third is a memorial scroll but at this stage we don't know who it was written to memorialize. This huge scroll also had to have mountings added before we could hang it.
This antique scroll was hanging in another part of the museum and has been moved to our scroll wall to hang. It is part of the Crabtree collection and depicts cranes nesting in a tree and represents life.
The following four scrolls have been in storage for some time but are now back on display
