    I found this last week -it measures 81"(!) + 15" more at the end of each side in different material.
    Does anyone know what it says?
    This isn't just décor, right? Who has a 7ft+ wall to hang it from?
    What is/was it for?
    Thanks in advance for any info!

    Not sure what it reads but doesn't appear very old. The black strap in the case appears to be nylon?

    Not sure but I think newer too - but 81" + 30" = 111" or 9ft 3 inches; WHY so big, if not for a parade or special event?
    Right?

    No clue whatsoever. I hope one of the China people chimes in. If it was a copy of a temple or palace inscription, I suppose it could be that big. The presentation (box and all) suggests that it isn't something mundane or utilitarian.

    I suspect it is this way round:

    Fairly recent, and probably for some sort of celebration. @JayBee , @lpan9 , your help please?
