Brisé fan of horn with rose decoration. The pointed-arch sticks are openwork-carved. On the medallions in the form of Kashmir palmettes, each spanning two sticks, is a carved and painted sprig with a pink rose, small butterfly, forget-me-not, and daisy.
The reverse shows orange instead of blue. Two blue stones adorn the rivet. The Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, holds this object as BK-1967-53; its record gives material recorded as metal, horn (animal material), glass, silk, tempera; technique grinding, paint, cutting, weaving. Description translated from the museum's Dutch catalogue text; details are those of this museum object, and how far it represents a wider type has not been independently verified.
