The very elaborate ribbing of this fan is made of bone, nicely pierced and carved, decorated and lacquered by hand. The double cotton leaf features, on the recto, a beautiful painting representing a pastoral scene, and on the verso, a complementary painting representing a landscape with a tree (not shown here). The size of the unfold fan is about 46 by 24.5 cm (18 by 9 ½ inches), and when closed it is 24.5 cm (9 ½ inches) long.
