Detailed Description
A partially open, pleated fan is positioned against a light, textured background. The fan is fanned out into a wide, shallow arc, with its base pointing towards the bottom center of the frame. The upper, pleated section of the fan is predominantly golden-brown, with a repeating pattern of dark, almost black, chevron or zigzag lines. These lines run horizontally across each pleat, creating a textured, woven appearance. The pleats themselves are narrow and numerous, forming a corrugated surface. Below the pleated section, the fan's sticks are visible. These sticks are thin, dark, and radiate outwards from a central pivot point at the very bottom of the fan. The pivot point is a small, dark, rounded element. The background is a uniform light gray or off-white fabric with a subtle weave visible. The fan occupies the majority of the upper and central part of the image.
