This is a folded hand fan with a light brown base. Each section has small pink flowers and green leaves painted on it. The fan’s handle is made of a light wood with simple black branch designs. The fan’s fabric looks soft and slightly shiny, like it’s made of silk or taffeta. The paint is delicate, with tiny details on each petal and leaf. Want to learn more?
