AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Ceremonial fan. / decorative, the two-faced peacock feather. Artistic craftsmanship.
Fascinating and sumptuous ornamental rigid fan, entirely handmade using authentic peacock feathers.
The object stands out for a refined double-sided artisanal workmanship, offering two different and complementary visual impacts:
Side A
It presents a splendid radiating geometric arrangement, where the eyes of the feathers converge toward the center creating a rosette pattern, hypnotic and compact, framed by the dense dark and iridescent barbs.
Side B
The feathers are layered to enhance the natural breadth and the changing colors typical of the peacock, with hues ranging from cobalt blue to emerald green and golden reflections.
The fan is mounted on a central rigid frame and is equipped with a natural, intangible handle. (wood, /, bamboo), firmly fixed to the base by a thread-wrapped artisanal binding.
A decorative piece of great elegance, ideal for curiosity collectors, enthusiasts of eclectic interior design, or as a display element.
Conditions
The object is structurally solid and preserves the vivid colors of the plumage. Signs of wear of time are noted: some central feathers have light shafts, partially detached, or lifted from the base.
