This fan is open, showing a lace-like center with thin, pale sticks radiating out. Around the edges are small, ornate gold frames. Each frame holds a tiny painted scene—some show people in dresses, others have flowers or landscapes. The gold frames look like tiny picture lockets, often used to hold portraits. The lace and gold details suggest it was meant to be fancy and delicate. If you like this kind of intricate decoration, look up gilding.
