A gold fan with painted flowers and leaves on a light background, within a patterned border
Detailed Description
A vertical scroll features a central rectangular panel. The scroll's top and bottom sections are a plain, light green-blue color with subtle horizontal striations. A rectangular panel in the middle features a light beige background. This panel is bordered by a dark teal band with a repeating pattern of gold floral motifs and swirling vines. Centered within the light beige panel is an open fan, oriented horizontally. The fan is predominantly gold, appearing to be covered in gold leaf or paint, with visible texture and some areas of wear. Painted on the gold surface are various botanical elements. Long, slender green leaves curve upwards from the fan's lower left and center. Among these leaves are clusters of small white flowers and groups of small red and pink flowers. Darker green foliage is visible along the bottom curve of the fan. The fan's structure is suggested by radiating lines from its base.
