An open folding fan with painted reddish-pink peaches, yellow flowers, and black calligraphy
Detailed Description
An open folding fan features a main surface of light cream or beige, composed of pleated paper segments that form a wide, shallow arc. On this surface, a painted scene depicts a branch extending horizontally across the middle. To the left, two reddish-pink peaches with green leaves hang from the branch. To the right, a cluster of yellow flowers with green leaves blooms from the same branch. In the upper left quadrant of the fan, several vertical lines of black calligraphy are visible, followed by a small, square red seal. The fan's ribs, visible at the bottom, are a dark green color. The two outer guard sticks, which frame the fan, are dark brown or black. The guard stick on the right side has a rectangular section near its end with gold-colored characters and a small decorative element. A small, dark green pivot point is located at the bottom center where the ribs converge.
