About MeLadies cream pierced ivory fan comprising sticks in two main parts, a lower lightly inversed elongated tear drop section, with a simple pierced motif at the juncture where the stick forms a flat spatula, heavily pierced forming an intricate repeating arabesque style geometric motif across the mount of the fan, which is fully appreciated when the fan is open out fully. The sticks are attached and threaded near top with a cream silky ribbon, forming a plain band across the pierced motifs.
