A semicircular off-white lace and mother-of-pearl fan features an intricate leaf patterned with floral and leaf motifs and small circular openings. Narrow, iridescent sticks radiate from a bottom metal pin to support the lace. Flanking the sides, wider guard sticks display a shimmering, pearly surface with pink and green hues. The delicate openwork lace creates a textured, layered appearance across the top of the radiating structure.
