Black ostrich feather 'Fontange' fan. The guards are plain, gloss painted, black wood but have broken off, one at the base, the other half-way up. The 25 sticks are narrow, flat strips of wood, painted Matt black and decorated with rows of silver fleur-de-lis. The leaves consist of black, uncurled ostrich feathers being shorter at the sides and longer at the centre, creating an elliptical shape. The sticks are held by a metal rod, having a brass-coloured metal loop and two small, yellow/pink mother of pearl button studs.
