Sticks pierced, carved and painted ivory; guards carved and painted ivory inlaid with tortoiseshell and mother-of-pearl (20+2); rivet set with clear pastes.  Indistinct inscription in the bottom left corner on the reverse.  Front: three theatrical scenes.  In the centre, Mars is kneeling with a shield and Venus holding a helmet; on the left; perhaps Venus with a mirror, leaning her arms on a plinth with a sphinx; beside her a tambourine on an open book of music; on the right, two women are sitting and leaning back towards the other on the right who is stepping onto a footstool; in the background, two columns on a podium behind Mars, and a vase on a pedestal.  Top left and right borders are of a colourful and striped foliage with grapes, and a small curtain and tassels in the top right half; the top and lower edging are of a gold foile, the right and left edges have a gold line.  Back:  in the middle, a couple in contemporary dress and a man watching them from behind a tree.  A big tree in the background, small trees on the left.  Top border of gold striped swags of drapery in puce and blue; bottom left border painted with a gold line.  Sticks:  in the centre, between wavy lines, animals including two hounds and a deer; buildings right and left.  On top, squirrels, birds and putti in scrolling foliage; underneath, pairs of sheep, leaves and blossoms.  Parts of the sticks are shaped to produce a pattern when open.  The reverse shows the same scene in reversed order with fewer colours used and without carved parts.  Guards:  both guards are decorated in the same way: shoulder of tortoiseshell inlaid with three diagonal stripes, the top and bottom ones are ivory, the middle one is mother of pear; the right and left border are also mother-of-pearl.  Guard proper:  Outer border mother-of-pearl, inner border tortoiseshell, inner part of carved and painted ivory; wavy, scrolling ornament with pairs of animals, a house, a bird and a shell on top."}],"identifier":[{"accession_number":"M.14-1985","primary":true,"type":"accession number","value":"M.14-1985"},{"priref":"117600","type":"priref","value":"117600"},{"date":[{"earliest":1985,"latest":1985,"value":"1985"}],"source":"The Messel-Rosse Collection","type":"old catalogue number","value":"DR 23\/305"},{"type":"uri","uri":"https:\/\/data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk\/id\/object\/117600","value":"https:\/\/data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk\/id\/object\/117600"}],"institutions":[{"@link":{"type":"reference"},"admin":{"id":"agent-149638","uid":"adlib-agent-149638","uuid":"7376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8"},"summary_title":"The Fitzwilliam Museum"}],"legal":{"credit_line":"Purchased with a grant from the National Heritage Memorial Fund and a gift from the Friends of the Fitzwilliam"},"lifecycle":{"acquisition":[{"agents":[{"@link":{"type":"reference"},"admin":{"id":"agent-172856","uid":"adlib-agent-172856","uuid":"71f39a0b-c347-3d6b-9888-73f17b5c827f"},"summary_title":"Countess of Rosse, Anne"}],"date":[{"earliest":1985,"latest":1985,"value":"1985-01-28"}],"method":{"value":"bought"},"note":[{"value":"Entry date: 1985-01-28"}]}],"creation":[{"date":[{"earliest":1740,"latest":1740,"precision":"circa","value":"1740"}],"maker":[{"@link":{"role":[{"value":"maker"}],"type":"reference"},"admin":{"id":"agent-149652","uid":"adlib-agent-149652","uuid":"0d4f90dc-b166-3d4b-b0db-25f4118b6e98"},"summary_title":"Unknown"}],"periods":[{"@link":{"type":"reference"},"admin":{"id":"term-121036","uid":"adlib-term-121036","uuid":"d94c6987-b658-37d7-a4c1-f5da804d2e40"},"summary_title":"18th Century, second quarter"}],"places":[{"@link":{"type":"reference"},"admin":{"id":"term-106629","uid":"adlib-term-106629","uuid":"e1fb1a11-426b-3006-bf59-4126d48e87ca"},"hierarchies":[[{"@link":{"type":"literal"},"name":[{"value":"Italy"}],"summary_title":"Italy","type":"country"}]],"summary_title":"Italy"}]}]},"measurements":{"dimensions":[{"dimension":"Width","units":"cm","value":"45"}]},"name":[{"reference":{"@link":{"type":"reference"},"admin":{"id":"term-110712","uid":"adlib-term-110712","uuid":"62af496a-308b-35b5-9f83-c7a0f36fba19"},"summary_title":"folding fan"}}],"note":[{"type":"history note","value":"Colonel Leonard C.
