hanging scroll

The dimensions will tell the reader that the scroll is taller than it is long. The word doesn't really exist in English, so it's more natural to just call it a hanging scroll.

The landscape painting is a silk hanging scroll, 154.2cm long by 54.5cm wide, in the blue-and-green style.
