"Bris\u00E9 fan of seven sticks, each one shaped to represent a curled feather. Cut straw, applied to silk covered pasteboard. The sticks are made of rigid pasteboard, reinforced with fine metal rods or wires and covered in green silk decorated on both sides of high-quality appliqu\u00E9d straw and cut roundels of gold paper. The sticks are kept together by a green silk ribbon.\n\nThe straw veneers have been cut into shapes of flowers and birds, whose plumage are cut frayed. A coat of arms (made of gold paper, pale blue silk and cut straw) is displayed on the central stick of what probably is the front of the fan. On this same side, the straw tail and crown of peacocks are cut to show small pieces of blue and red silk."@en . . . .
