Rigid feather fan in the Renaissance style (see fig. 4 page 1 of Feather Fans.). Three long ostrich feathers, dyed in beige, light green and black (the latter could be natural) are fixed with a metal thread that is covered with a brocade ribbon that forms also the loop. Given the improvised fixation of the feathers, it could be a "self-made fan". Austro-Hungary, around 1890. |
