Three sides of the uncoloured leaf are framed by a broad band of silk depicting bouquets of flowers on lobes formed from leaves curving round to the left. These curving leaf motifs divide the leaf of rhe fan into three irregular fields, in which winged putti on flowering branches are making music. The sticks are unembellished. A ring with a small bobble is linked onto the handle, to which a white silk cord and tassel are attached.
