This detail stems from an Italian publicity fan for Cinzano. The medallion is glued onto the "guard stick" of a Jenny-Lind-type fan made of crepe paper. It shows Pierrot playing the mandolin for Colombina. This type of fan was cheaply produced for masquerades during carnival season, imitating the Jenny-Lind-fans of the mid-19th century. Italy, beginning 20th century.
