Subject:Calligraphic Board
Posted By: Selby Cook Tue, Dec 18, 2018 IP: 104.177.63.52
Would appreciate any and all help in translating the strange-looking text on the 36" x 11" board. It is unlike any characters I'm familiar with. A small section in regular kanxi with seal is located on the lower right. Many thanks.

The characters on the board are the Jinwenti 金文體
variations of the same 壽 (Shou - Long Life) character.
Jinwenti is a script style, designed based on the old bronzeware scrip.
Colophon;
褧人金文顯　-　Display of Jiongren`s bronzeware script
Seals are illegible.

With regards,
I.Nagy
