Last one.

I had read that this style of gold leaf with calligraphy was popular in the Ming dynasty. It appears that there has been several exhibitions in the last 2 years.

I know that it was last framed in the 1980's - the gallery is close to my home and they confirmed when the time it was framed.

Also, the silk background (folio) has a mat line around the edges that is not consistent with the frame, so it was definitely framed prior to the current frame.
