<p>[QUOTE="Bingamum, post: 4171905, member: 19618"]I think you might be spot on Kiko. Thank you so much for the link to the information. The paper is very fragile but felt a bit heavier than rice paper but not quite parchment. And it looks like there are fibers in the discoloured part. I took one image of it in front of a window so we could see the paper better and how the light shined through it. I looked up miniature Chinese pith paintings and there are several that have a similar look. I hope I have not damaged the one piece by taking it out of the frame though have put it all back together now. It they are pith paintings then I feel very fortunate to have found them![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
