A circular porcelain plate features a dark teal background with dense, black hatched markings. Three overlapping fans dominate the composition. A large fan on the left displays yellow scales and stripes, while two black-ribbed fans sit at the bottom and right. A yellow and black vertical block anchors the top. A border of black and teal stripes circles the rim, framing the layered geometric patterns within.
