About MeThis ladies parasol has a white nylon paper taffeta cover decorated with rows of white nylon lace.

The metal stick has a white plastic runner and is attached to eight metal stretchers that in turn attach to eight metal ribs.

There is a metal spike with a paper taffeta ruffle just above the top notch.

The white mother-of-pearl effect handle has an octagonal button top. There are two beige tassels attached to the handle.

The parasol fastens by moving a metal ring at the top of the handle upwards to trap the rib tips.
