A doll's fan made from wood and cotton chintz with a metal pivot. The ribs are made of very thin wood which is painted with fern designs in orange and gold. The main part of the fan is made of cream cotton chintz which has been painted with blue and yellow flowers and green leaves. The cotton is quite frayed and one of the ribs has broken off at its base.
