The fan is composed of five separate sections of drawn thread work on concealed frames.

Although not identical, the bird forming part of the decoration on this side of the fan may have been intended to represent that cotinga. The other feathers have yet to be identied, but may come from members of the same species.referenceterm-118735adlib-term-1187351631bde8-d0c4-3507-be3b-ac03c59ba80717th Century, second half#Heightcm34Widthcm23referencemedia-3655533208portfolio-media-36555332088343cf07-0245-3235-82c1-a3f4719e9cb5jpegportfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/466/19/large_M_358_1985_1_200910_mfj22_mas.jpg1heightpixels1365widthpixels102415292874890001imagejpegportfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/466/19/mid_M_358_1985_1_200910_mfj22_mas.jpg1heightpixels667widthpixels50015292874890001imageM.358-1985_1_200910_mfj22_mas.tif152928748900011imagejpegportfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/466/19/preview_M_358_1985_1_200910_mfj22_mas.jpg1heightpixels333widthpixels25015292874890001imagepyramid tiffportfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/466/19/M_358_1985_1_200910_mfj22_mas.ptif1heightpixels5344widthpixels400815292874890001image0media
