This fan is open, showing a painted scene of people in fancy clothes walking by a river. The colors are soft—light blues, pinks, and greens—with gold edges and little decorative patterns along the ribs. The people look like they’re strolling in a park or near a small town, with trees and buildings in the background. The fan’s handle and ribs are made of a light material, maybe bone or wood, with silver-like cutouts for detail. The edges are gilded, meaning they’re covered in a thin layer of gold paint or leaf. It’s delicate but sturdy, designed to be held and used. If you like this kind of detailed craftsmanship, look up gilding.
