The design of boys in a lotus scroll may carry one or more of several meanings. First, combining boys and lotuses makes a rebus in Chinese for "progeny"\u2014a characteristically Chinese aspiration and theme. Second, in Buddhist art of the Tang period (618\u2013906), scenes of the paradise of Amitabha Buddha often show the rebirth on lotus pods of souls that are frequently depicted as little boys. Finally, the general pattern of boys in a scroll may be related to the idea of the "inhabited scroll," which derives ultimately from vine scrolls with bacchic figures that migrated from the eastern Roman Empire into Asia in the Late Antique period. By the eighth century in China, the human figures of the inhabited scrolls seem to have become little boys hanging onto lotus plants, as in this woven textile.Free picture Vertical Pendant with Boys in a Lotus Scroll integrated with the OffiDocs web apps
