耶穌基督

Jesus Christ

This wall scroll says Jesus Christ in Chinese, along with a reference to Ephesians 2:10 as an inscription down the side. Also signed by the calligrapher, Li Dan-Qing.

This was a custom order, and we ended up making two of them. This one has some characteristics in the plain white silk that look like wrinkles at certain lighting angles. As a result, it's priced super-low. This should be a $72 wall scroll with the custom inscription and all the fancy options.


About the artist:

This calligraphy was created by Li Dan-Qing of Beijing. He's an older gentleman who has been involved with the art community of China, all of his life. Now in retirement, he creates calligraphy for us for sort of "hobby income".


About the materials and construction of this wall scroll:

The calligraphy was done using black Chinese ink on xuan paper (known incorrectly in the west as "rice paper"). The raw artwork was then taken to our Wall Scroll Workshop where it was laminated to more sheets of xuan paper, and built into a beautiful silk brocade wall scroll. Except for the use of a lathe to turn the wooden knobs, this wall scroll is virutally 100% handmade from start to finish (even the paper is made by hand).
