Summary
A woman's fan, made from black cotton and wood. The black cotton leaf is decorated on the right hand side with three hand-painted gouache male figures (possibly Chinese); one is glass-blowing and the other two are dancing. The fan has japanned wood guards, sticks and ribs which are undecorated and the fan is secured at the base with a brass and enamel pivot and handle, intact. A long black moiré silk ribbon is attached to the handle.
