The fan is composed of five separate sections of drawn thread work on concealed frames. The frames are covered with feathers in bands of different colours and there is a border to each section of more feathers. The central scenes of flowers and birds are composed of feathers and stitched into place on applied fabric grounds and are different on each side. The whole is mounted on a turned, wooden handle. reference exhibition-1915 adlib-exhibition-1915 19c510a2-f3c8-3376-ac8e-fad812c5b3d3 Fashion and Fancy Dress.

Place of manufacture and assembly uncertain; the leaf was probably made in South America or Central America whilst the handle is probably European, possibly either English or Dutch. Previously, the sections of threadwork in concealed frames were thought to have bee made of gut. However, new light imaging (published in 2024) reveals that these are actually twisted and bent plant fibres, doubled up and interwoven into different schemes. See Hanss 2024 in 'documentation'. The blue and purple feathers match those of the purple-breasted cotinga (cotinga amabilis), found in Brazil, the Guyanas and Surinam. Although not identical, the bird forming part of the decoration on this side of the fan may have been intended to represent that cotinga. The other feathers have yet to be identied, but may come from members of the same species. reference term-118735 adlib-term-118735 1631bde8-d0c4-3507-be3b-ac03c59ba807 17th Century, second half reference term-9157 adlib-term-9157 4d96ca6f-ae83-3dfc-b28a-99c4720512a0 literal South America South America country South American Height cm 34 Width cm 23 reference media-3655533208 portfolio portfolio-media-3655533208 8343cf07-0245-3235-82c1-a3f4719e9cb5 jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/466/19/large_M_358_1985_1_200910_mfj22_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 1365 width pixels 1024 1529287489000 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/466/19/mid_M_358_1985_1_200910_mfj22_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 667 width pixels 500 1529287489000 1 image M.358-1985_1_200910_mfj22_mas.tif 1529287489000 1 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/466/19/preview_M_358_1985_1_200910_mfj22_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 333 width pixels 250 1529287489000 1 image pyramid tiff portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/466/19/M_358_1985_1_200910_mfj22_mas.ptif 1 height pixels 5344 width pixels 4008 1529287489000 1 image 0 media image reference media-3902351926 portfolio portfolio-media-3902351926 adfc60e0-e575-3c86-9333-d516dbc5993f jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/466/25/large_M_358_1985_2_200910_mfj22_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 1308 width pixels 1024 1529287493000 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/466/25/mid_M_358_1985_2_200910_mfj22_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 639 width pixels 500 1529287493000 1 image M.358-1985_2_200910_mfj22_mas.tif 1529287493000 1 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/466/25/preview_M_358_1985_2_200910_mfj22_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 319 width pixels 250 1529287493000 1 image pyramid tiff portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/466/25/M_358_1985_2_200910_mfj22_mas.ptif 1 height pixels 5119 width pixels 4008 1529287493000 1 image 1 media image reference media-3559287101 portfolio portfolio-media-3559287101 0e92c6f1-c281-3345-846d-92e63534eb08 jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/627/682/large_M_358_1985_1_200910_mfj22_dc1.jpg 1 height pixels 1443 width pixels 1024 1550049104000 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/627/682/mid_M_358_1985_1_200910_mfj22_dc1.jpg 1 height pixels 704 width pixels 500 1550049104000 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/627/682/M_358_1985_1_200910_mfj22_dc1.jpg 1 height pixels 4856 width pixels 3447 1550049104000 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/627/682/preview_M_358_1985_1_200910_mfj22_dc1.jpg 1 height pixels 352 width pixels 250 1550049104000 1 image 2 media image reference media-775621467 portfolio portfolio-media-775621467 3fb692be-7270-30bd-99c3-b6d2591420d1 jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/627/683/large_M_358_1985_2_200910_mfj22_dc1.jpg 1 height pixels 1439 width pixels 1024 1550049104000 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/627/683/mid_M_358_1985_2_200910_mfj22_dc1.jpg 1 height pixels 703 width pixels 500 1550049104000 1 image M.358-1985_2_200910_mfj22_dc1.jpg 1550049104000 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/627/683/preview_M_358_1985_2_200910_mfj22_dc1.jpg 1 height pixels 351 width pixels 250 1550049104000 1 image pyramid tiff portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/627/683/M_358_1985_2_200910_mfj22_dc1.ptif 1 height pixels 4957 width pixels 3528 1550049104000 1 image 3 media image reference term-119665 adlib-term-119665 94ef82d3-bf93-3fbb-9bc6-7bd3913caaf6 screen fan history note Colonel Leonard Messel (d. 1953); Anne, Countess of Rosse (d. 1992) reference agent-149638 adlib-agent-149638 7376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8 The Fitzwilliam Museum Publ. pl. 1 reference publication-4712 adlib-publication-4712 e54f9e6e-cf79-3ee2-9c57-536c5acca4f1 Fans from the Fitzwilliam.
