Framed Decorative Hand Fan

The item is a framed decorative fan, most likely a Spanish or Japanese style hand fan, presented within a shadow box frame. The fan itself appears to be made of paper or silk stretched over a series of thin, dark-colored sticks that form the structure. The main body of the fan is a vibrant reddish-pink color, possibly vermillion or a deep coral, suggesting it might be made of paper or a thin fabric. Along the top edge of the fan, above the red portion, there is a band of decorative elements that appear to be small, uniform black and gold or black and white patterns, possibly individual beads, sequins, or painted designs on each rib of the fan. This detailed border adds to its aesthetic appeal. The fan is displayed in an opened, semi-circular position, secured flat against the back of the frame, which appears to be dark, possibly black or a very dark green. The frame itself is rectangular and made of a dark wood or wood-look material. It features a matted border that is a lighter, possibly gold or bronze, color with subtle Oriental-style patterns or symbols visible in the corners and along the edges, suggesting an Asian influence in the overall presentation. The front of the shadow box is covered with glass or acrylic, protecting the fan from dust and damage. No specific condition issues like tears on the fan, cracks in the frame, or visible damage to the glass are discernible from the image. The overall presentation suggests a piece intended for display as wall art or a collection piece, likely from the late 20th or early 21st century given its contemporary framing style. The craftsmanship appears to be good quality for a decorative piece, designed to showcase the fan's form and color.
