This is a miniature traditional Japanese folding fan called sensu. You can use this when it's hot or as decoration. This fan is made with a natural bamboo frame (with lacquered ends) and sturdy washi paper. It features a white and multi-color horned sheep in the shape of a clay bell (dorei) on a gold background. There is a red accent in the upper right with gold clouds. The back side is plain beige.
