Hand fan (2731)
A brisé fan made of pierced light amber colored horn. Blades are pierced in a Grecian neo-classical design of an urn with a leaf finial, whose pointed outer edge results in a Gothic effect. Guards follow shape of sticks, but are thicker and have more elaborate piercing. Strung on yellow silk ribbon. Mother of pearl washer and metal rivet.
