The screen has been covered in a black lacquer and decorated with a painted floral bouquet with a floral wreath edging. The design has mother of pearl accents inlaid into the central floral design and in the tiny flowers of the outer wreath. A wooden tooled handle is attached to the fan’s base using a brass nail. The handle has gold flecks in the finish.
