The fan is white and semicircular. It has a short straight handle on one side. The fan's semicircular part consists of a series of connected sections with rounded tops converging to a small round protrusion at the base. A shield-shaped emblem is present on the fan, featuring what appears to be a bird. The sections of the fan are decorated with patterns. The background of the image is darker at the top and sides and lighter in the middle. The title of the piece is "Fan" by an unknown artist.
