中国民间剪纸 Folk papercut art of China

百鱼图 A picture of hundreds of fish

锦鲤群至,回游于红花之间,跃波于绿叶之下 The koi of prosperity arrive in group, swimming here and there between the red flowers, jumping across the waves under the green leaves.

(All translations given above are translated approximately word by word, not polished)

To add to this: The word for 'fish' 鱼 yú sounds just like the word for 'abundance' 余 yú, making a fish a symbol for wishing for abundance. So, a good scroll!
