English: This item is a scroll from the Kuang-hsü Emperor of China to President Benjamin Harrison, written in both Manchu and Chinese characters. The characters are written in black ink on a yellow background. The background color of the scroll was created using gamboge, a dark mustard yellow pigment. Decorating the border of the scroll are repeated dragon designs in black ink. In the center of the scroll is a seal stamped in red ink. In the scroll, the Emperor of China accredits Tsui Kuo-yin as Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to the United States.
